Currently we remove EA inode from mbcache as soon as its xattr refcount drops to zero. However there can be pending attempts to reuse the inode and thus refcount handling code has to handle the situation when refcount increases from zero anyway. So save some work and just keep EA inode in mbcache until it is getting evicted. At that moment we are sure following iget() of EA inode will fail anyway (or wait for eviction to finish and load things from the disk again) and so removing mbcache entry at that moment is fine and simplifies the code a 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.
