Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: redo dget,mntget on dentry_open failure
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 11:34:25 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47695621.6040709@redhat.com> (raw)
Thanks to Jeff Moyer for pointing this out.
If the RDWR dentry_open() in ecryptfs_init_persistent_file fails,
it will do a dput/mntput. Need to re-take references if we
retry as RDONLY.
