4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4a3877c4cedd95543f8726b0a98743ed8db0c0fb upstream. if we ever hit rpc_gssd_dummy_depopulate() dentry passed to it has refcount equal to 1. __rpc_rmpipe() drops it and dput() done after that hits an already freed dentry.
