Subject[PATCH] xfs: call xfs_idestroy_fork() in xfs_ilock() critical section
Date
The commit f7be2d7f594cbc ("xfs: push down inactive transaction
mgmt for truncate") refactored the xfs_inactive() function
in fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c. However, it also moved the call to
xfs_idestroy_fork() from inside the xfs_ilock() critical section to
outside. That was causing memory corruption and strange failures like
deferencing NULL pointers in some circumstances.

This patch moves the xfs_idestroy_fork() call back into an xfs_ilock()
critical section to avoid memory corruption problem.
