Subject: [PATCH] namei fixes (16/19)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39ca6d49759346d4710c759d443eec8048b27213;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] namei fixes (16/19)

Conditional mntput() moved into __do_follow_link().  There it collapses with
unconditional mntget() on the same sucker, closing another too-early-mntput()
race.
