Subject: [PATCH 3.14 10/11] fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race
Date: Fri,  9 Sep 2016 17:33:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160909153157.773647723@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160909153156.152470606@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

I checked Jari's explanation below and found that v3.14.77 and v3.12.62
are missing the same fix as 3.10. In fact Al's original commit 3d56c25
("fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race") used to mention to check 
this __d_materialise_dentry() function in the Cc: stable line, but this
got lost during the backports.

Normally all of our 3 kernels need to apply the following patch that
Ben correctly put in 3.16 and 3.2. I'm fixing the backport in 3.10.103
right now.
