Many of the inlines in dcache.h were changed to accept
const struct pointers in commit f0d3b3ded999 ("constify dcache.c
inlined helpers where possible").
This patch allows 'const' in a couple that were added since then.

Ping ... should I be sending this somewhere else? Is there a problem
with it?
Thanks,

Nothing, just slipped through the cracks; July and August had been
insane (move from nc.us to ma.us after well over a decade in one
apartment; 'nuff said...)
Applied.

Great, thanks!
Something else that might have slipped through the cracks
is the following. There have been a few different patches for
this issue floating around including at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9455345/
and
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9944661/
I think this approach is best, though adding that 'moving' arg to
___d_drop() isn't the most elegant thing I've ever done.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
NeilBrown

Subject: [PATCH] VFS: close race between getcwd() and d_move()
d_move() will call __d_drop() and then __d_rehash()
on the dentry being moved. This creates a small window
when the dentry appears to be unhashed. Many tests
of d_unhashed() are made under ->d_lock and so are safe
from racing with this window, but some aren't.
In particular, getcwd() calls d_unlinked() (which calls
d_unhashed()) without d_lock protection, so it can race.
This races has been seen in practice with lustre, which uses d_move() as
part of name lookup. See:
https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-9735
It could race with a regular rename(), and result in ENOENT instead
of either the 'before' or 'after' name.
We could fix this race by taking d_lock an rechecking when
d_unhashed() reports true. Alternately when can remove the window,
which is the approach this patch takes.
When __d_drop and __d_rehash are used to move a dentry, an extra
flag is passed which causes d_hash.pprev to not be cleared, and
to not be tested.

Hi Al,
I don't see this in linux-next, but it seems to be pulling from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git
which doesn't exist any more.
I don't see it in the for-next branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
either, or in for-linus.
Where should I be looking?
Thanks,
NeilBrown
