From ba65dc5ef16f82fba77869cecf7a7d515f61446b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 11:32:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] much milder d_walk() race d_walk() relies upon the tree not getting rearranged under it without rename_lock being touched. And we do grab rename_lock around the places that change the tree topology. Unfortunately, branch reordering is just as bad from d_walk() POV and we have two places that do it without touching rename_lock - one in handling of cursors (for ramfs-style directories) and another in autofs. autofs one is a separate story; this commit deals with the cursors. * mark cursor dentries explicitly at allocation time * make __dentry_kill() leave ->d_child.next pointing to the next non-cursor sibling, making sure that it won't be moved around unnoticed before the parent is relocked on ascend-to-parent path in d_walk(). * make d_walk() skip cursors explicitly; strictly speaking it's not necessary (all callbacks we pass to d_walk() are no-ops on cursors), but it makes analysis easier.
