[patch 21/28] nfsd4: check for negative dentry before use in nfsv4 readdir

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b2c0cea6b1cb210e962f07047df602875564069e upstream.

After 2f9092e1020246168b1309b35e085ecd7ff9ff72 "Fix i_mutex vs.  readdir
handling in nfsd" (and 14f7dd63 "Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code"),
an entry may be removed between the first mutex_unlock and the second
mutex_lock. In this case, lookup_one_len() will return a negative
dentry.  Check for this case to avoid a NULL dereference.
