| |
3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>
commit 2084ac6c505a58f7efdec13eba633c6aaa085ca5 upstream.
The function dentry_connected calls dput(dentry) to drop the previously acquired reference to dentry. In this case, dentry can be released. After that, IS_ROOT(dentry) checks the condition (dentry == dentry->d_parent), which may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch directly compares dentry with its parent obtained before dropping the reference.
Fixes: a056cc8934c("exportfs: stop retrying once we race with rename/remove")
