If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mike Snitzer commit aa0cf48a448c5a9fe1a1e880899ecd589ce39e6e upstream. The header for commit e75b23f9e323 ("nfsd: check d_can_lookup in fh_verify of directories") details the assumption that justified adding the WARN_ON_ONCE to nfsd_mode_check(), that assumption is invalid (in the case of NFS reexport). When NFSD exports an NFS filesystem it is very possible for nfsd_mode_check() to encounter a @dentry that doesn't have i_op->lookup (see nfs_fhget()'s NFS_ATTR_FATTR_MOUNTPOINT and NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4_REFERRAL handling, and d_flags_for_inode()). So remove nfsd_mode_check()'s WARN_ON_ONCE(). The nfserr_notdir return on that branch must stay. It guards the subsequent lookup_one_unlocked() -> __lookup_slow() path, which calls inode->i_op->lookup() with no NULL check, so returning nfserr_notdir is what keeps a client LOOKUP into such a @dentry from dereferencing a NULL method pointer.
