| |
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
upstream commit: 8dc4e37362a5dc910d704d52ac6542bfd49ddc2f
dget(dentry->d_parent) --> dget_parent(dentry)
unlock_parent() is racy and unnecessary. Replace single caller with unlock_dir().
There are several other suspect uses of ->d_parent in ecryptfs...
