Subject: xfs: list corruption in xfs_setup_inode()

Hello,

We triggered a list corruption (double add) warning below on our 4.9
kernel (the 4.9 kernel we use is based on -stable release, with only a
few unrelated networking backports):

WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 628 at lib/list_debug.c:36 __list_add+0xac/0xb0

_Without_ looking deeper, it seems this warning could be shut up by:

--- a/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c
+++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c
@@ -1138,6 +1138,8 @@ xfs_reclaim_inode(
        xfs_iunlock(ip, XFS_ILOCK_EXCL);

        XFS_STATS_INC(ip->i_mount, xs_ig_reclaims);
+
+       inode_sb_list_del(VFS_I(ip));

with properly exporting inode_sb_list_del(). Does this make any sense?
I don't want to pretend I understand XFS code at all.

BTW, there is a same bug report here, on 3.10 CentOS 7 kernel:
https://bugs.centos.org/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=10254

Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Thanks!
