[PATCH 3.12 125/175] debugfs: leave freeing a symlink body until inode eviction

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

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 0db59e59299f0b67450c5db21f7f316c8fb04e84 upstream.

As it is, we have debugfs_remove() racing with symlink traversals.
Supply ->evict_inode() and do freeing there - inode will remain
pinned until we are done with the symlink body.

And rip the idiocy with checking if dentry is positive right after
we'd verified debugfs_positive(), which is a stronger check...
