From e7d6ef9790bc281f5c29d0132b68031248523fe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 01:35:59 -0400 Subject: fix idiotic braino in d_alloc_parallel() Check for d_unhashed() while searching in in-lookup hash was absolutely wrong. Worse, it masked a deadlock on dget() done under bitlock that nests inside ->d_lock. Thanks to J. R. Okajima for spotting it. Spotted-by: "J. R.
