Since there is no special protection when shmem_getattr() calls generic_fillattr(), data-race occurs by functions such as shmem_unlink() or shmem_mknod(). This can cause unexpected results, so commenting it out is not enough. Therefore, when calling generic_fillattr() from shmem_getattr(), it is appropriate to protect the inode using inode_lock_shared() and inode_unlock_shared() to prevent data-race.
