[PATCH] kernfs: fix dentry unexpected skip

From: Hatayama, Daisuke
Date: Fri May 18 2018 - 10:58:07 EST


kernfs_dir_next_pos() overlooks the situation that the dentry
corresponding to a given pos object has already been inactive. Hence,
when kernfs_dir_pos() returns the dentry with a hash value larger than
the original one, kernfs_dir_next_pos() returns the dentry next to the
one returned by kernfs_dir_pos(). As a result, the dentry returned by
kernfs_dir_pos() is skipped.

To fix this issue, try to find a next node only when the returned
object has a hash value equal to or smaller than the original one.
