[PATCH 2/2] fs: nfs: dir.c: Fix sparse error

From: madhuparnabhowmik04
Date: Fri Dec 06 2019 - 10:16:57 EST


From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik04@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes the following errors:
fs/nfs/dir.c:2353:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
fs/nfs/dir.c:2353:14: struct list_head [noderef] <asn:4> *
fs/nfs/dir.c:2353:14: struct list_head *

caused due to directly accessing the prev pointer of
a RCU protected list.
Accessing the pointer using the macro list_prev_rcu() fixes this error.
