[PATCH 4.5 165/200] ext4/fscrypto: avoid RCU lookup in d_revalidate

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 02 2016 - 21:00:49 EST


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

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

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 03a8bb0e53d9562276045bdfcf2b5de2e4cff5a1 upstream.

As Al pointed, d_revalidate should return RCU lookup before using d_inode.
This was originally introduced by:
commit 34286d666230 ("fs: rcu-walk aware d_revalidate method").
