    writeback: inode cgroup wb switch should not call ihold() · 74524955
    Tahsin Erdogan authored
    Asynchronous wb switching of inodes takes an additional ref count on an
    inode to make sure inode remains valid until switchover is completed.
    
    However, anyone calling ihold() must already have a ref count on inode,
    but in this case inode->i_count may already be zero:
