3.13.11-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ca5358ef75fc69fee5322a38a340f5739d997c10 upstream. ... by not hitting rename_retry for reasons other than rename having happened. In other words, do _not_ restart when finding that between unlocking the child and locking the parent the former got into __dentry_kill(). Skip the killed siblings instead...
