Why are we talking about stable? This regression was introduced in
4.18-rc1, spotted by Al *and* reported by testers. It needs to be
fixed in one way or other in 4.18.
I've nothing against applying "new primitive: discard_new_inode() now
+ this patch, but if it is deemed too risky at this point, we could
just revert the buggy commit 80ea09a002bf ("vfs: factor out
inode_insert5()") and its dependencies.
Thanks,
Miklos
