[patch for 2.6.27? 1/1] nfs: BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint

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

 



From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@xxxxxxxxxx>

Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside
nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a specific setup.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622

So the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.
