vfs-scale, d_revalidate from nfsd

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

 



NFSD calls filesystem's ->d_revalidate() with the parameter nd == NULL.
So every
	if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
		return -ECHILD;
code which was added to ->d_revalidate() of FS which supports NFS
exporting will crash.

If we rewrite it as
	if (nd && (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU))
		return -ECHILD;
the problem may not occur.
But I am not sure whether lookup_one_len() call in NFSD support rcu-walk.
