From aa65fa35ba6b589a12a6025739c2d935dd743b5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 23:23:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] may_follow_link() should use nd->inode Now that we can get there in RCU mode, we shouldn't play with nd->path.dentry->d_inode - it's not guaranteed to be stable. Use nd->inode instead.
