[PATCH 4.9 32/44] ext4: check to make sure the rename(2)s destination is not freed

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit b50282f3241acee880514212d88b6049fb5039c8 upstream.

If the destination of the rename(2) system call exists, the inode's
link count (i_nlinks) must be non-zero.  If it is, the inode can end
up on the orphan list prematurely, leading to all sorts of hilarity,
including a use-after-free.
