As the comment right above a WARN_ON() in create_file_dentry() states:
* Note, with the mutex held, the e_dentry cannot have content
* and the ei->is_freed be true at the same time.
But the WARN_ON() only has:
WARN_ON_ONCE(ei->is_free);
Where to match the comment (and what it should actually do) is:
dentry = *e_dentry;
WARN_ON_ONCE(dentry && ei->is_free)
Also in that case, set dentry to NULL (although it should never happen).
