[RFC PATCH] ext4: use the normal helper to get the actual inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Here we use the READ_ONCE to fix race conditions in ->d_compare() and
->d_hash() when they are called in RCU-walk mode, seems we can use
the normal helper d_inode_rcu() to get the actual inode.
