+Subject: lock_parent: don't step on stale ->d_parent of all-but-freed one
+
+From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
+
+commit c2338f2dc7c1e9f6202f370c64ffd7f44f3d4b51 upstream.
+
+Dentry that had been through (or into) __dentry_kill() might be seen
+by shrink_dentry_list(); that's normal, it'll be taken off the shrink
+list and freed if __dentry_kill() has already finished. The problem
+is, its ->d_parent might be pointing to already freed dentry, so
+lock_parent() needs to be careful.
+
+We need to check that dentry hasn't already gone into __dentry_kill()
+*and* grab rcu_read_lock() before dropping ->d_lock - the latter makes
+sure that whatever we see in ->d_parent after dropping ->d_lock it
+won't be freed until we drop rcu_read_lock().
