[ 2862.501007] Call Trace: [ 2862.501007] [] d_kill+0xf8/0x140 [ 2862.501007] [] dput+0xc9/0x190 [ 2862.501007] [] fput+0x15f/0x210 [ 2862.501007] [] filp_close+0x61/0x90 [ 2862.501007] [] sys_close+0xb1/0x110 [ 2862.501007] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b A reliable way to reproduce this bug is: Login to KDE, run 'rsnapshot sync', and apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk, and apt-get remove openjdk-6-jdk. The buggy part of the patch is this: struct inode *inode = NULL; ..... - if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len]) - goto slashes; inode = dentry->d_inode; - if (inode) - ihold(inode); + if (nd.last.name[nd.last.len] || !inode) + goto slashes; + ihold(inode) ... if (inode) iput(inode); /* truncate the inode here */ If nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is nonzero (and thus goto slashes branch is taken), and dentry->d_inode is non-NULL, then this code now does an additional iput on the inode, which is wrong. Fix this by only setting the inode variable if nd.last.name[nd.last.len] is 0.
