vfs: fix d_ancestor() case in d_materialize_unique
In d_materialise_unique() there are 3 subcases to the 'aliased dentry' case; in two subcases the inode i_lock is properly released but this does not occur in the -ELOOP subcase. This seems to have been introduced by commit 1836750115f2 ("fix loop checks in d_materialise_unique()"). Signed-off-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.0+ [ Added a comment, and moved the unlock to where we generate the -ELOOP, which seems to be more natural. You probably can't actually trigger this without a buggy network file server - d_materialize_unique() is for finding aliases on non-local filesystems, and the d_ancestor() case is for a hardlinked directory loop. But we should be robust in the case of such buggy servers anyway. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
