[PATCH] fs: add a sanity check in d_free
Hi Al, remember that debug session we did at KS? You suggested this patch back then.... From 7751eaf30474b8cbfaea64795805a17eab05ac53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:51:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs: add a sanity check in d_free we're seeing some corruption in the dentry->d_alias list that appears like a free of an entry still on the list; this patch adds a WARN_ON() to catch this scenario, as suggested by Al Viro Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
