From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> The lock order is incorrect between denty and its parent, we should always make sure that the parent get the lock first. Switch to use the 'dget_parent()' to get the parent dentry and also keep holding the parent until the corresponding inode is not being refereenced.
