+Subject: vfs: fix do_last() regression
+
+From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
+
+commit 6404674acd596de41fd3ad5f267b4525494a891a upstream.
+
+Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been
+done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has
+slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made
+for more "obvious" patch.
+
+Analysis:
+
+ - at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka
+ nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and
+ it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD.
+ inode of the file to get opened is not known.
+
+ - after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir
+ might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc.
+
+ - at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU
+ mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might
+ be garbage.
+
+The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the
+do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that
+nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us.
+
+In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be
+careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same
+as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we
+should use that.
