Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ceph/mdsc: Move CEPH_CAP_PIN reference when r_parent is updated
Date: Thu,  4 Sep 2025 10:11:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904101131.1258532-1-amarkuze@redhat.com> (raw)

When the parent directory lock is not held, req->r_parent can become stale and is updated to point to the correct inode.
However, the associated CEPH_CAP_PIN reference was not being adjusted.
The CEPH_CAP_PIN is a reference on an inode that is tracked for accounting purposes.
Moving this pin is important to keep the accounting balanced. When the pin was not moved from the old parent to the new one, it created two problems:
The reference on the old, stale parent was never released, causing a reference leak.
A reference for the new parent was never acquired, creating the risk of a reference underflow later in ceph_mdsc_release_request().
This patch corrects the logic by releasing the pin from the old parent and acquiring it for the new parent when r_parent is switched.
This ensures reference accounting stays balanced.
