Description
The inode reclaiming process (function prune_icache_sb) collects all reclaimable inodes and marks them with I_FREEING flag at first. At that time other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes (function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroys the inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems may do inode lookup in the inode evicting callback function. If the inode lookup is operated under the inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.
