[PATCH 4.4 18/20] ext4/fscrypto: avoid RCU lookup in d_revalidate

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

 



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

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

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 03a8bb0e53d9562276045bdfcf2b5de2e4cff5a1 upstream.

As Al pointed, d_revalidate should return RCU lookup before using d_inode.
This was originally introduced by:
commit 34286d666230 ("fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method").
