Subject: fix open/umount race
X-Git-Tag: v3.0~2949^2~27
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d893f1bc2a9f0f7dcb4b433452c59f9bedac0d7d;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git

fix open/umount race

nameidata_to_filp() drops nd->path or transfers it to opened
file.  In the former case it's a Bad Idea(tm) to do mnt_drop_write()
on nd->path.mnt, since we might race with umount and vfsmount in
question might be gone already.

Fix: don't drop it, then...  IOW, have nameidata_to_filp() grab nd->path
in case it transfers it to file and do path_drop() in callers.  After
they are through with accessing nd->path...
