xfstest generic/429 sometimes hangs on f2fs, caused by a thread being
unable to take a directory's i_rwsem for write in vfs_rmdir(). In the
test, one thread repeatedly creates and removes a directory, and other
threads repeatedly look up a file in the directory. The bug is that
f2fs_mkdir() calls d_instantiate() before unlock_new_inode(), resulting
in the directory inode being exposed to lookups before it has been fully
initialized. And with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, unlock_new_inode()
reinitializes ->i_rwsem, corrupting its state when it is already held.
Fix it by calling unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate(). This
matches what other filesystems do.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
