Defensive change: Don't try to lock a dentry unless it is positive.
Trying to lock a negative entry will generate a refcount underflow.

Which member trigger this underflow?

dput() encounters a dentry refcount underflow because a negative
dentry's refcount is already zero.

OK, so you mean dentry->d_lockref here.

But I cannot see why we can trigger this, if it is, it's actually a bug...

Can you give a more detail why can trigger this?


But perhaps it would be more accurate to say this patch attempts to
avoid triggering the DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON in hlock_class.

DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON in hlock_class means this class_idx not in use. I prefer this cannot happen. Am I think wrong..



The underflow has been seen only while testing.

Calltrace arrived here means this is a active dir(a dentry with positive
inode), and nowdays only .rmdir / .rename2 for shmem can reach this point.
Lock for this dir inode has already been held, maybe this can protect child
been negative or active? So d_lock here is no need?

My assumption was that child->d_lock was necessary for an
authoritative determination of whether "child" is positive or
negative. If holding that lock isn't necessary, then I agree,
there's no need to take child->d_lock here at all... There's
clearly nothing else to protect in this code path.
