fs: skip I_FREEING inodes in writeback_sb_inodes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Skip I_FREEING inodes just like I_WILL_FREE and I_NEW when walking the
writeback lists.  Currenly this can't happen, but once we move from
inode_lock to more fine grained locking we can have an inode that's
still on the writeback lists but has I_FREEING set, and we absolutely
need to skip it here, just like we do for all other inode list walks.

Based on a patch from Dave Chinner.
