Okajima <hooanon05@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 23 15:38:43 2009 +0900 NFSD: test d_inode before fh_compose() After 2f9092e1020246168b1309b35e085ecd7ff9ff72 "Fix i_mutex vs. readdir handling in nfsd" (and 14f7dd63 "Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code"), an entry may be removed between the first mutex_unlock and the second mutex_lock. In this case, lookup_one_len() in compose_entry_fh() will return a negative dentry. It is better to test inode (positive/negative) BEFORE fh_compose(). Signed-off-by: J. R.
