Subject: [PATCH 12/13] cifs_get_link(): bail out in unsafe case
Date: Sun,  4 Feb 2024 02:17:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240204021739.1157830-12-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240204021739.1157830-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

->d_revalidate() bails out there, anyway.  It's not enough
to prevent getting into ->get_link() in RCU mode, but that
could happen only in a very contrieved setup.  Not worth
trying to do anything fancy here unless ->d_revalidate()
stops kicking out of RCU mode at least in some cases.
