Before this patch, gfs2_create_inode had a use-after-free for the iopen glock in some error paths because it did this: gfs2_glock_put(io_gl); fail_gunlock2: if (io_gl) clear_bit(GLF_INODE_CREATING, &io_gl->gl_flags); In some cases, the io_gl was used for create and only had one reference, so the glock might be freed before the clear_bit(). This patch tries to straighten it out by only jumping to the error paths where iopen is properly set, and moving the gfs2_glock_put after the clear_bit.

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.
