From fc6f394332ef1bf6ff5fbeaba0f2cd7a3c7971b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:45:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: when renaming don't try to unlink negative dentry When attempting to rename a file on a read-only share, the kernel can call cifs_unlink on a negative dentry, which causes an oops. Only try to unlink the file if it's a positive dentry.
