The patch titled
Subject: exec: binfmt_misc: fix race between load_misc_binary() and kill_node()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
exec-binfmt_misc-fix-race-between-load_misc_binary-and-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: fix race between load_misc_binary() and kill_node()
load_misc_binary() makes a local copy of fmt->interpreter under
entries_lock to avoid the race with kill_node() but this is not enough;
the whole Node can be freed after we drop entries_lock, not only the
->interpreter string.
Add dget/dput(fmt->dentry) to ensure bm_evict_inode() can't destroy/free
this Node.
