Re: [PATCH 3.10 099/180] fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race

Show all headers | View raw

This patch for 3.10 branch appears to be missing one important

+       dentry->d_flags |= DCACHE_RCUACCESS;

in fs/dcache.c __d_materialise_dentry() function. When Ben Hutchings
backported Al Viro's original fix to stable branches that he maintains,
he added that one additional line to both 3.2 and 3.16 branches. Please
consider including that additional one line fix for 3.10 stable branch
also.


Ben Hutchings said this on his 3.2.82-rc1 patch:
[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust context
 - Also set the flag in __d_materialise_dentry())]

Ben Hutchings said this on his 3.16.37-rc1 patch:
[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Adjust context
 - Also set the flag in __d_materialise_dentry())]
