From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 40fc81027f892284ce31f8b6de1e497f5b47e71f upstream. If a dentry's version is somewhere between invalid_before and the current directory version, we should be setting it forward to the current version, not backwards to the invalid_before version. Note that we're only doing this at all because dentry::d_fsdata isn't large enough on a 32-bit system. Fix this by using a separate variable for invalid_before so that we don't accidentally clobber the current dir version.
