[Patch 3.14 stable 09/16] lift the "already marked killed" case into shrink_dentry_list()

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

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure
equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've
got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead().

IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching
that code.  Just move it there.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(cherry picked from commit 64fd72e0a44bdd62c5ca277cb24d0d02b2d8e9dc)
