[ 12/41] vfs: fix double put after complete_walk()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 16 2012 - 19:48:45 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

commit 097b180ca09b581ef0dc24fbcfc1b227de3875df upstream.

complete_walk() already puts nd->path, no need to do it again at cleanup time.

This would result in Oopses if triggered, apparently the codepath is not too
well exercised.
