Subject: fix idiotic braino in d_alloc_parallel()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7d6ef9790bc281f5c29d0132b68031248523fe8;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

fix idiotic braino in d_alloc_parallel()

Check for d_unhashed() while searching in in-lookup hash was absolutely
wrong.  Worse, it masked a deadlock on dget() done under bitlock that
nests inside ->d_lock.  Thanks to J. R. Okajima for spotting it.
