[PATCH 4.5 106/124] ext4 crypto: use dget_parent() in ext4_d_revalidate()

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

 



4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 3d43bcfef5f0548845a425365011c499875491b0 upstream.

This avoids potential problems caused by a race where the inode gets
renamed out from its parent directory and the parent directory is
deleted while ext4_d_revalidate() is running.

Fixes: 28b4c263961c
