Subject: [PATCH v8 3/8] writeback, cgroup: increment isw_nr_in_flight before grabbing an inode
Date:   Mon, 7 Jun 2021 18:31:18 -0700

isw_nr_in_flight is used do determine whether the inode switch queue
should be flushed from the umount path. Currently it's increased
after grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work. It means
the umount path can be walked past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active
inode references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount."
message and use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed).

Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with
the inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled.

The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered
by Jan Kara by looking into the code.
