From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 03:09:19 +0000 (-0400) Subject: d_walk() might skip too much X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2159184ea01e4ae7d15f2017e296d4bc82d5aeb0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git d_walk() might skip too much when we find that a child has died while we'd been trying to ascend, we should go into the first live sibling itself, rather than its sibling. Off-by-one in question had been introduced in "deal with deadlock in d_walk()" and the fix needs to be backported to all branches this one has been backported to.
