Subject: [PATCH V2] namei: free new_dentry late
Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2018 08:15:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1543104923-81192-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com> (raw)

After calling dput(new_dentry), new_dentry is passed to fsnotify_move.
This may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the put
operation late.

Fixes: da1ce0670c14("vfs: add cross-rename")
Signed-off-by: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>
