Subject: [PATCH 3.14 17/64] d_walk() might skip too much
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2015 20:42:45 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150603063929.203082704@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150603063928.472620468@linuxfoundation.org>

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

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit 2159184ea01e4ae7d15f2017e296d4bc82d5aeb0 upstream.

when we find that a child has died while we'd been trying to ascend,
we should go into the first live sibling itself, rather than its sibling.

Off-by-one in question had been introduced in "deal with deadlock in
d_walk()" and the fix needs to be backported to all branches this one
has been backported to.
