When the parent directory's i_rwsem is not locked, req->r_parent may become stale due to concurrent operations (e.g. rename) between dentry lookup and message creation. Validate that r_parent matches the encoded parent inode and update to the correct inode if a mismatch is detected. [ idryomov: folded a follow-up fix from Alex to drop extra reference from ceph_get_reply_dir() in ceph_fill_trace(): ceph_get_reply_dir() may return a different, referenced inode when r_parent is stale and the parent directory lock is not held. ceph_fill_trace() used that inode but failed to drop the reference when it differed from req->r_parent, leaking an inode reference. Keep the directory inode in a local variable and iput() it at function end if it does not match req->r_parent. ] Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alex Markuze <amarkuze@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko <Slava.Dubeyko@ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
