The patch titled
Subject: exec: binfmt_misc: don't nullify Node->dentry in kill_node()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
exec-binfmt_misc-dont-nullify-node-dentry-in-kill_node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: exec: binfmt_misc: don't nullify Node->dentry in kill_node()
kill_node() nullifies/checks Node->dentry to avoid double free. This
complicates the next changes and this is very confusing:
- we do not need to check dentry != NULL under entries_lock, kill_node()
is always called under inode_lock(d_inode(root)) and we rely on this
inode_lock() anyway, without this lock the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE cleanup
could race with itself.
- if kill_inode() was already called and ->dentry == NULL we should not
even try to close e->interp_file.
We can change bm_entry_write() to simply check !list_empty(list) before
kill_node. Again, we rely on inode_lock(), in particular it saves us from
the race with bm_status_write(), another caller of kill_node().
