Subject: [patch 10/47] ecryptfs: clean up (un)lock_parent
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:10:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080614001039.GJ24698@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080614000840.GA24659@suse.de>

[-- Attachment #1: ecryptfs-clean-up-lock_parent.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1961 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

upstream commit: 8dc4e37362a5dc910d704d52ac6542bfd49ddc2f

dget(dentry->d_parent) --> dget_parent(dentry)

unlock_parent() is racy and unnecessary.  Replace single caller with
unlock_dir().

There are several other suspect uses of ->d_parent in ecryptfs...
