[PATCH 4.14 42/49] ceph: fix use-after-free on symlink traversal

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 02 2019 - 11:25:14 EST


[ Upstream commit daf5cc27eed99afdea8d96e71b89ba41f5406ef6 ]

free the symlink body after the same RCU delay we have for freeing the
struct inode itself, so that traversal during RCU pathwalk wouldn't step
into freed memory.
