Description of problem: Some regression test cases in afr were failing because of this bug. RCA: Currently inode ref count is gaurded by inode_table->lock, and inode_ctx is gauarded by inode->lock. With the new patch [1] inode_ref was modified to change the inode_ctx to track the ref count per xlator. Thus inode_ref performed under inode_table->lock is modifying inode_ctx which has to be modified only under inode->lock Solution: When a inode is created, inode_ctx holder is allocated for all the xlators. Hence in case of inode_ctx_set instead of using the first free index in inode ctx holder, we can have predecided index for every xlator in the graph. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
