When calling generic_fillattr(), if you don't hold read lock, data-race will occur in inode member variables, which can cause unexpected behavior.
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.
