[PATCH] Fix ecryptfs related OOPs after umount

[PATCH] Fix ecryptfs related OOPs after umount

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi,

the following patch removes a d_drop in ecryptfs that is bogus IMHO.
This d_drop unhashes a perfectly valid and reachable dentry in the
lower FS. The patch fixes this perfectly reproducible kernel oops:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10907

It and may or may not be related to this ecryptfs bug:

   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/363734

At least the BUG_ON is on a dentry that should not be unhashed but is.

      regards   Christian
