Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 120/206] xfs: fix inode validity check in xfs_iflush_cluster

4.2.8-ckt12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>

commit 51b07f30a71c27405259a0248206ed4e22adbee2 upstream.

Some careless idiot(*) wrote crap code in commit 1a3e8f3 ("xfs:
convert inode cache lookups to use RCU locking") back in late 2010,
and so xfs_iflush_cluster checks the wrong inode for whether it is
still valid under RCU protection. Fix it to lock and check the
correct inode.
