Cute. 'k' being 0x6b, aka POISON_FREE... OK, the next question is what's
been freed under us - I don't believe that it's dentry itself...
Oh, fuck. OK, I see what happens. Look at kern_path_create(); it does
LOOKUP_PARENT walk, leaving nd->last pointing to the last component of
the *COPY* of the name it's just created, walked and freed.
OK... Fortunately, struct nameidata is completely opaque outside of fs/namei.c,
so we only need to care about a couple of codepaths.
Folks, could you check if the following on top of linux-next fixes the problem?
