From ba7a4c1a76f56c607560f1676680ff491747bdae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 13:36:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
