From: Latchesar Ionkov Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 21:41:11 +0000 (-0700) Subject: v9fs: don't use primary fid when removing file X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21~19 X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c959df9f01cfb2f43b4d1f58631ee1e9c50541b6;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git v9fs: don't use primary fid when removing file v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the primary fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct after removing the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the same dentry, it may wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is freed). This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is not locked and freed.
