From cfb2f9d5c921e38b0f12bb26fed10b877664444d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 20:56:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] GFS2: fix d_splice_alias() misuses Callers of d_splice_alias(dentry, inode) don't need iput(), neither on success nor on failure. Either the reference to inode is stored in a previously negative dentry, or it's dropped. In either case inode reference the caller used to hold is consumed. __gfs2_lookup() does iput() in case when d_splice_alias() has failed. Double iput() if we ever hit that. And gfs2_create_inode() ends up not only with double iput(), but with link count dropped to zero - on an inode it has just found in directory.
