Hmm, do we want to transform this into an if and do rcu unlock and then just
call BUG()? I't doesn't matter at this point _anyway_, but it would be the
right
thing to do, no?
The better solution is to err out gracefully.
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(inode->i_mapping != mapping) {
err = -EFAULT;
rcu_read_unlock();
goto out;
}
Hmm?
Ok, Linus would probably like that as well. If we're going this way,
we also need to release inode reference, before the rcu unlock.
Thanks,
