[PATCH] fs: add a sanity check in d_free
Hi Al,
remember that debug session we did at KS? You suggested this patch back
then....

Subject: [PATCH] fs: add a sanity check in d_free
we're seeing some corruption in the dentry->d_alias list that
appears like a free of an entry still on the list; this patch
adds a WARN_ON() to catch this scenario, as suggested by Al Viro
