Subject[PATCH] fuse: fix occasional dentry leak when readdirplus is used
Date
In case d_lookup() returns a dentry with d_inode == NULL, the dentry is
not returned with dput(). This results in triggering a BUG() in
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree():

BUG: Dentry ...{i=0,n=...} still in use (1) [unmount of fuse fuse]

Reported-by: Justin Clift <jclift@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Niels de Vos <ndevos@redhat.com>

Reproducing the BUG() on kernels with fuse that support READDIRPLUS can
be done with the GlusterFS tests:
- http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Using_the_Gluster_Test_Framework

After some stressing of the VFS and fuse mountpoints, bug-860663.t will
hit the BUG(). It does not happen on running this test stand-alone.
