[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 06/25] audit_get_nd(): don't unlock parent too early

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

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 69924b89687a2923e88cc42144aea27868913d0e ]

if the child has been negative and just went positive
under us, we want coherent d_is_positive() and ->d_inode.
Don't unlock the parent until we'd done that work...
