[ Upstream commit a801fcfeef96702fa3f9b22ad56c5eb1989d9221 ]
xfstests-generic/476 reports a warning message as below:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 30347 at fs/inode.c:361 inc_nlink+0x52/0x70
Call Trace:
do_rename+0x502/0xd40 [ubifs]

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae
Following race case can cause this:
rename_whiteout(Thread 1) wb_workfn(Thread 2)
ubifs_rename
do_rename
__writeback_single_inode
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock)
whiteout->i_state |= I_LINKABLE
inode->i_state &= ~dirty;
---- How race happens on i_state:
(tmp = whiteout->i_state | I_LINKABLE)
(tmp = inode->i_state & ~dirty)
(whiteout->i_state = tmp)
(inode->i_state = tmp)
----
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock)
inc_nlink(whiteout)
WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE)) !!!
Fix to add i_lock to avoid i_state update race condition.

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.
