4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Al Viro <[email protected]> commit a528aca7f359f4b0b1d72ae406097e491a5ba9ea upstream. Games with ordering and barriers are way too brittle. Just bump ->d_seq before and after updating ->d_inode and ->d_flags type bits, so that verifying ->d_seq would guarantee they are coherent.
