[PATCH] fs/9p: Compare qid.path in v9fs_test_inode

[PATCH] fs/9p: Compare qid.path in v9fs_test_inode

[Tuomas Tynkkynen]

Commit fd2421f54423 ("fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details
and inode mode bits.") transformed v9fs_qid_iget() to use iget5_locked()
instead of iget_locked(). However, the test() callback is not checking
fid.path at all, which means that a lookup in the inode cache can now
accidentally locate a completely wrong inode from the same inode hash
bucket if the other fields (qid.type and qid.version) match.

Fixes: fd2421f54423 ("fs/9p: When doing inode lookup compare qid details and inode mode bits.")

Does this sound sensible? I have never reproduced the problem myself but
reportedly this patch solves some really weird problems where the
symptoms match (wrong files being opened unpredictably).

Al, does this sound sensible? (or if there is someone else picking up 9p
patches, let me know).

Thanks!
