'igrab(d_inode(dentry->d_parent))' without holding dentry->d_lock is
broken because without d_lock, d_parent can be concurrently changed due
to a rename(). Then if the old directory is immediately deleted, old
d_parent->inode can be NULL. That causes a NULL dereference in igrab().
To fix this, use dget_parent() to safely grab a reference to the parent
dentry, which pins the inode. This also eliminates the need to use
d_find_any_alias() other than for the initial inode, as we no longer
throw away the dentry at each step.
This is an extremely hard race to hit, but it is possible. Adding a
udelay() in between the reads of ->d_parent and its ->d_inode makes it
reproducible on a no-journal filesystem using the following program:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
if (fork()) {
for (;;) {
mkdir("dir1", 0700);
int fd = open("dir1/file", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_SYNC);
write(fd, "X", 1);
close(fd);
}
} else {
mkdir("dir2", 0700);
for (;;) {
rename("dir1/file", "dir2/file");
rmdir("dir1");
}
}
}
