ext4: remove mb_groups before tearing down the buddy_cache
We can't have references held on pages in the s_buddy_cache while we are trying to truncate its pages and put the inode. All the pages must be gone before we reach clear_inode. This can only be gauranteed if we can prevent new users from grabbing references to s_buddy_cache's pages. The original bug can be reproduced and the bug fix can be verified by: while true; do mount -t ext4 /dev/ram0 /export/hda3/ram0; \ umount /export/hda3/ram0; done & while true; do cat /proc/fs/ext4/ram0/mb_groups; done Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org
