Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 64/65] autofs: drop dentry reference only when it is never used
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 16:06:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190223210640.200911-64-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190223210640.200911-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@163.com>
[ Upstream commit 63ce5f552beb9bdb41546b3a26c4374758b21815 ]
autofs_expire_run() calls dput(dentry) to drop the reference count of
dentry. However, dentry is read via autofs_dentry_ino(dentry) after
that. This may result in a use-free-bug. The patch drops the reference
count of dentry only when it is never used.
