--- Comment #3 from Neil Brown <nfbrown@xxxxxxxxxx>  2008-11-24 19:02:47 MST ---
Looks like inode->i_list is not on any list, and we are trying to list_move
it somewhere near the bottom of __sync_single_inode.

i_list is only deleted (list_del) in dispose_list and it should only
get there when the reference count is zero.

However the inode is question is a directory on which we are doing a 
"silly delete".  i.e. we deleted a file which was still open, so it 
was renamed instead.  And when the file was finally closed, the
"silly delete" happens.  During this time a reference to the directory
inode is held so it should never get a refcount of zero, and so never
be deleted.

Yet obviously it is.  So I must be missing something.

I'll try to keep looking.

Meanwhile, can you test the current 11.1-beta kernel and see if you can get
the same result?

Thanks.
