When we are evicting inode with journalled data, we may race with
transaction commit in the following way:
CPU0 CPU1
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() evict(inode)
inode_io_list_del()
inode_wait_for_writeback()
process BJ_Forget list
__jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint()
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer()
__jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer()
if (test_clear_buffer_jbddirty(bh))
mark_buffer_dirty(bh)
__mark_inode_dirty(inode)
ext4_evict_inode(inode)
frees the inode
This results in use-after-free issues in the writeback code (or
the assertion added in the previous commit triggering).
Fix the problem by removing inode from writeback lists once all the page
cache is evicted and so inode cannot be added to writeback lists again.

README
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.
