From 0eda2827797d047ad79ee5d9568531bed7950308 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2019 13:11:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] audit_get_nd(): don't unlock parent too early [ Upstream commit 69924b89687a2923e88cc42144aea27868913d0e ] if the child has been negative and just went positive under us, we want coherent d_is_positive() and ->d_inode. Don't unlock the parent until we'd done that work...
