From 8f9941aeccc318f243ab3fa55aaa17f4c1cb33f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:14:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] CacheFiles: Fix a race in cachefiles_delete_object() vs rename cachefiles_delete_object() can race with rename. It gets the parent directory of the object it's asked to delete, then locks it - but rename may have changed the object's parent between the get and the completion of the lock. However, if such a circumstance is detected, we abandon our attempt to delete the object - since it's no longer in the index key path, it won't be seen again by lookups of that key. The assumption is that cachefilesd may have culled it by renaming it to the graveyard for later destruction. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-format-patch failed
