Subject: [PATCH 6/6] staging: lustre: llite: fix incorrect DCACHE_DISCONNECTED test
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:06:18 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <150164317832.13199.6113390117004813683.stgit@noble> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <150164273003.13199.7841976922211510658.stgit@noble>

It is almost always wrong to test DCACHE_DISCONNECTED, except in
"exportfs" code.
The flag tells us that this dentry *might* not be connected to the
root through a chain of d_parent links.  Following the d_parent
to an IS_ROOT() dentry *might* find one that is on the s_anon list
rather than s_root.

The code here needs to know if it is safe to call __d_drop(), and
the correct test is "!IS_ROOT(dentry)".
If an dentry IS_ROOT(), then it might be the filesystem root, or it
might be the root of a DCACHE_DISCONNECTED tree, and so be on
the s_anon list.  In these two cases it should not be __d_drop()ed.
If !IS_ROOT(), then the dentry is attached to its parent through
d_subdir, and can safely be unhashed.
