Subject[PATCH 4.9 143/329] fs: dcache: Use READ_ONCE when accessing i_dir_seq
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 8cc07c808c9d595e81cbe5aad419b7769eb2e5c9 ]

i_dir_seq is subject to concurrent modification by a cmpxchg or
store-release operation, so ensure that the relaxed access in
d_alloc_parallel uses READ_ONCE.
