If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro commit 3b821409632ab778d46e807516b457dfa72736ed upstream. In case when dentry passed to lock_parent() is protected from freeing only by the fact that it's on a shrink list and trylock of parent fails, we could get hit by __dentry_kill() (and subsequent dentry_kill(parent)) between unlocking dentry and locking presumed parent. We need to recheck that dentry is alive once we lock both it and parent *and* postpone rcu_read_unlock() until after that point. Otherwise we could return a pointer to struct dentry that already is rcu-scheduled for freeing, with ->d_lock held on it; caller's subsequent attempt to unlock it can end up with memory corruption.
