Subjectnfsfh.c:nfsd_findparent lookup("..") failure fix in 2.4.4 - xfs related?
The following diff was made in 2.4.4.

pdentry = child->d_inode->i_op->lookup(child->d_inode, tdentry);
d_drop(tdentry); /* we never want ".." hashed */
+ if (!pdentry && tdentry->d_inode == NULL) {
+ /* File system cannot find ".." ... sad but possible */
+ dput(tdentry);
+ pdentry = ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
+ }


Umh. How is it possible to have a valid dentry which has no parent?
Even "/.." is linked to "/."

Is this xfs related? At least it was triggered on 2.4.3-xfs with
exported xfs filesystems.
