4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c6b0b656ca24ede6657abb4a2cd910fa9c1879ba ] While we hold a reference to the dentry when build_dentry_path is called, we could end up racing with a rename that changes d_parent. Handle that situation correctly, by using the rcu_read_lock to ensure that the parent dentry and inode stick around long enough to safely check ceph_snap and ceph_ino.
