From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit d9dfd8d741683347ee159d25f5b50c346a0df557 upstream. In the case where d_add_unique() finds an appropriate alias to use it will have already incremented the reference count. An additional dget() to swap the open context's dentry is unnecessary and will leak a reference.
