Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: NULL pointer deference in open_xa_dir()
Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 16:43:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110530134314.GA4574@swordfish.minsk.epam.com> (raw)
Commit
> commit cc350c2764a657ee012efd5bd260a6cd5be2f877
> reiserfs: remove unnecessary dentry_unhash from rmdir, dir rename
> Reiserfs does not have problems with references to unlinked directories.
removed dentry_unhash() from rmdir, dir rename functions. That
caused
NULL pointer dereference at open_xa_dir+0x3f/01b3
Trace:
?xattr_unlink()
reiserfs_for_each_xattr()
?mutex_lock_nested()
?get_parent_ip()
reiserfs_delete_xattrs()
reiserfs_evict_inode()
[..]
Patch reverts cc350c2764a657ee012efd5bd260a6cd5be2f877. The difference
is that reiserfs_rmdir() calls dentry_unhash() only for xattr dirs, since
(as commit message states) references to unlinked non-xattrs directories
are handled by reiserfs.
