Converting a file handle to a dentry can be done call after the inode unlink. This means that __fh_to_dentry() requires an extra check to verify the number of links is not 0. The issue can be easily reproduced using xfstest generic/426, which does something like: name_to_handle_at(&fh) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches unlink() open_by_handle_at(&fh) The call to open_by_handle_at() should fail, as the file doesn't exist anymore.
