From ca04d9c3ec721e474f00992efc1b1afb625507f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sage Weil Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:12:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ceph: fix null pointer deref on anon root dentry release When we release a root dentry, particularly after a splice, the parent (actually our) inode was evaluating to NULL and was getting dereferenced by ceph_snap(). This is reproduced by something as simple as mount -t ceph monhost:/a/b mnt mount -t ceph monhost:/a mnt2 ls mnt2 A splice_dentry() would kill the old 'b' inode's root dentry, and we'd crash while releasing it. Fix by checking for both the ROOT and NULL cases explicitly. We only need to invalidate the parent dir when we have a correct parent to invalidate.
