Before this patch, multiple users called gfs2_qa_alloc which allocated a qadata structure to the inode, if quotas are turned on. Later, in file close or evict, the structure was deleted with gfs2_qa_delete. But there can be several competing processes who need access to the structure. There were races between file close (release) and the others. Thus, a release could delete the structure out from under a process that relied upon its existence. For example, chown. This patch changes the management of the qadata structures to be a get/put scheme. Function gfs2_qa_alloc has been changed to gfs2_qa_get and if the structure is allocated, the count essentially starts out at 1. Function gfs2_qa_delete has been renamed to gfs2_qa_put, and the last guy to decrement the count to 0 frees the memory. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
