We need to get the underlying dentry of parent; sure, absent the races it is the parent of underlying dentry, but there's nothing to prevent losing a timeslice to preemtion in the middle of evaluation of lower_dentry->d_parent->d_inode, having another process move lower_dentry around and have its (ex)parent not pinned anymore and freed on memory pressure. Then we regain CPU and try to fetch ->d_inode from memory that is freed by that point. dentry->d_parent *is* stable here - it's an argument of ->lookup() and we are guaranteed that it won't be moved anywhere until we feed it to d_add/d_splice_alias. So we safely go that way to get to its underlying dentry. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # since 2009 or so Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |
