Subject: [014/197] xfs: check for not fully initialized inodes in xfs_ireclaim

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>

commit b44b1126279b60597f96bbe77507b1650f88a969 upstream

Add an assert for inodes not added to the inode cache in xfs_ireclaim,
to make sure we're not going to introduce something like the
famous nfsd inode cache bug again.
