Subject: [PATCH stable request 3.10] vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:17:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443482250-30691-1-git-send-email-vlee@twopensource.com> (raw)

From: Vinson Lee <vlee@twitter.com>

Hi.

Please backport upstream 4.2 commit 93e3bce6287e1fb3e60d3324ed08555b5bbafa89
("vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path") to stable kernel 3.10.

This patch has already been backported to stable kernels 3.12, 3.13, 3.14,
3.16, 3.18, 4.0, and 4.1.

The upstream patch does not apply cleanly and a backport is provided.

This patch fixes 3.13 commit f48cfddc6729e
("vfs: In d_path don't call d_dname on a mount point"), but this patch was
itself was backported in 3.10.28.

This patch addresses this warning seen in 3.10.76.
