The patch titled ecryptfs: redo dget,mntget on dentry_open failure has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ecryptfs-redo-dgetmntget-on-dentry_open-failure.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ecryptfs: redo dget,mntget on dentry_open failure From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks to Jeff Moyer for pointing this out. If the RDWR dentry_open() in ecryptfs_init_persistent_file fails, it will do a dput/mntput. Need to re-take references if we retry as RDONLY.
