From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:14:41 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: use dget_parent() in ext4_file_open() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9dd78d8c9a7bd4bc341f5864db32d4331b8eae4c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git ext4: use dget_parent() in ext4_file_open() In f_op->open() lock on parent is not held, so there's no guarantee that parent dentry won't go away at any time. Even after this patch there's no guarantee that 'dir' will stay the parent of 'inode', but at least it won't be freed while being used.
