Revision 112fc894a7c49e6435f91faa1cebfd425e6f3ace authored by David Howells on 27 January 2015, 15:18:39 UTC, committed by Al Viro on 20 February 2015, 09:56:43 UTC
Code that does this:

		if (!(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)) {
			...
			simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, dentry);
		}

is broken because:

    !(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)

is equivalent to:

    !d_unhashed(dentry) || !dentry->d_inode

so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with dentry->d_inode == NULL.

simple_unlink(), however, assumes dentry->d_inode cannot be NULL.

I think that what was meant is this:

    !d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode

and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.
