The issue was introduced by fuse_direntplus_link, where in the function, fuse_iget increments nlookup, and if d_splice_alias returns failure, fuse_direntplus_link returns failure without decrementing nlookup https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/pull/4081 Signed-off-by: ruanmeisi <ruan.meisi@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 0b05b18381ee ("fuse: implement NFS-like readdirplus support") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.9 Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/fs/fuse/readdir.c b/fs/fuse/readdir.c index dc603479b30e..b3d498163f97 100644 --- a/fs/fuse/readdir.c +++ b/fs/fuse/readdir.c @@ -243,8 +243,16 @@ static int fuse_direntplus_link(struct file *file, dput(dentry); dentry = alias; } - if (IS_ERR(dentry)) + if (IS_ERR(dentry)) { + if (!IS_ERR(inode)) { + struct fuse_inode *fi = get_fuse_inode(inode); + + spin_lock(&fi->lock); + fi->nlookup--; + spin_unlock(&fi->lock); + } return PTR_ERR(dentry); + } } if (fc->readdirplus_auto) set_bit(FUSE_I_INIT_RDPLUS, &get_fuse_inode(inode)->state);
