3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Sachin Prabhu <spra...@redhat.com> commit 3798f47aa276b332c30da499cb4df4577e2f8872 upstream. We do not need to lookup a hashed negative directory since we have already revalidated it before and have found it to be fine. This also prevents a crash in cifs_lookup() when it attempts to rehash the already hashed negative lookup dentry. The patch has been tested using the reproducer at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867344#c28 Reported-by: Vit Zahradka <vit.zahra...@tiscali.cz> Signed-off-by: Sachin Prabhu <spra...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> --- fs/cifs/dir.c | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/cifs/dir.c +++ b/fs/cifs/dir.c @@ -392,7 +392,16 @@ cifs_atomic_open(struct inode *inode, st * in network traffic in the other paths. */ if (!(oflags & O_CREAT)) { - struct dentry *res = cifs_lookup(inode, direntry, 0); + struct dentry *res; + + /* + * Check for hashed negative dentry.
