      [PATCH] fix __writeback_single_inode WARN_ON · 659603ef
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the
      
      	WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));
      
      is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING.
      
      When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility
      of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the
      generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel
      fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is
      also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0.
      
      The specific stack trace is this:
