Subject: [PATCH] namei fixes (13/19)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba7a4c1a76f56c607560f1676680ff491747bdae;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] namei fixes (13/19)

In open_namei() exit_dput: we have mntput() done in the wrong order -
if nd->mnt != path.mnt we end up doing
	mntput(nd->mnt);
	nd->mnt = path.mnt;
	dput(nd->dentry);
	mntput(nd->mnt);
which drops nd->dentry too late.  Fixed by having path.mnt go first.
That allows to switch O_NOFOLLOW under if (__follow_mount(...)) back
to exit_dput, while we are at it.

Fix for early-mntput() race + equivalent transformation.
