6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit a9de4eb15ad430fe45747c211e367da745a90093 upstream. As the comment right above a WARN_ON() in create_file_dentry() states: * Note, with the mutex held, the e_dentry cannot have content * and the ei->is_freed be true at the same time. But the WARN_ON() only has: WARN_ON_ONCE(ei->is_free); Where to match the comment (and what it should actually do) is: dentry = *e_dentry; WARN_ON_ONCE(dentry && ei->is_free) Also in that case, set dentry to NULL (although it should never happen).
