From dfef6dcd35cb4a251f6322ca9b2c06f0bb1aa1f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 01:25:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare() a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare(); however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might. Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed, provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare(). b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it! Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed. Nick?
