Subject: [PATCH 2.6.17-rc1-mm1] BUG due to freed dentry in dcache race fix
Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2006 19:35:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060406140546.GA29036@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <661de9470604031112j3bf81a21r7066c67f62f1de63@mail.gmail.com>
Hi, Andrew,
Please apply this patch on top of
fix-dcache-race-during-umount.patch
we need to save a reference to the s_umount read write semaphore. The dentry
can be freed by prune_one_dentry(). Dereferencing dentry->d_sb->s_umount is
not safe after that point.
