From 097b180ca09b581ef0dc24fbcfc1b227de3875df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 13:56:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: fix double put after complete_walk() complete_walk() already puts nd->path, no need to do it again at cleanup time. This would result in Oopses if triggered, apparently the codepath is not too well exercised.
