    cachefiles: Fix attempt to read i_blocks after deleting file [ver #2] · a818101d
    David Howells authored
    An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
    when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon
    how much space it's making available.
    
    The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls
    cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object()
    because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the
    file at that filename until after it has been deleted.  This means that
    d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it.
    
    To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
    supply the number of blocks freed up.
    
    Without this, the following oops may occur:
