| |
A couple of fixes to eventfs:
- With the usage of simple_recursive_remove() recommended by Al Viro, the code should not be calling "d_invalidate()" itself. Doing so is causing crashes. The code was calling d_invalidate() on the race of trying to look up a file while the parent was being deleted. This was detected, and the added dentry was having d_invalidate() called on it, but the deletion of the directory was also calling d_invalidate() on that same dentry.
- A fix to not free the eventfs_inode (ei) until the last dput() was called on its ei->dentry made the ei->dentry exist even after it was marked for free by setting the ei->is_freed. But code elsewhere still was checking if ei->dentry was NULL if ei->is_freed is set and would trigger WARN_ON if that was the case. That's no longer true and there should not be any warnings when it is true.
Steven Rostedt (Google) (2): eventfs: Remove expectation that ei->is_freed means ei->dentry == NULL eventfs: Do not invalidate dentry in create_file/dir_dentry()
