From 915f4f86ddc49484217a0e0e16e8a25e3c1ec856 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2015 22:05:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: leave freeing a symlink body until inode eviction commit 0db59e59299f0b67450c5db21f7f316c8fb04e84 upstream. As it is, we have debugfs_remove() racing with symlink traversals. Supply ->evict_inode() and do freeing there - inode will remain pinned until we are done with the symlink body. And rip the idiocy with checking if dentry is positive right after we'd verified debugfs_positive(), which is a stronger check... Signed-off-by: Al Viro [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Plumb in debugfs_super_operations, which we didn't previously define - Call truncate_inode_pages() instead of truncate_inode_pages_final() - Call end_writeback() instead of clear_inode()] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
