> When new_dentry exist, i.e. 'target' is not NULL, and a mount point( or old dentry is a mount point ), then function set 'error' variable to -EBUSY( line 2581 ). After that function will call dput function for new_dentry( line 2595 ) without corresponding dget. In this case d_count of dentry become corrupted. In case when old dentry and new dentry are not mount points, dget for new dentry is called in dentry_unhash function. What do you mean, without corresponding dget()? It's done in dentry_unhash(). Oh, hell... We don't call it in that case. Right. vfs_rmdir() used to do dentry_unhash() before the checks for mountpoints, vfs_rename_other() - only after. The funny part is, it got accidentally fixed in this merge window. -stable still needs fixing - by moving dentry_unhash() down past the checks for d_mountpoint(). Mainline should be OK now... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
