Yan, Zheng 5495c2d04f ceph: avoid dereferencing invalid pointer during cached readdir
Readdir cache keeps array of dentry pointers in page cache. If any
dentry in readdir cache gets pruned, ceph_d_prune() disables readdir
cache for later readdir syscall. The problem is that ceph_d_prune()
ignores unhashed dentry. Ideally MDS should have already revoked
CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED (which also disables readdir cache) when dentry
gets unhashed. But if it is somehow MDS does not properly revoke
CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED and the unhashed dentry gets pruned later,
ceph_d_prune() will not disable readdir cache, later readdir may
reference invalid dentry pointer.

The fix is make ceph_d_prune() do extra check for unhashed dentry.
Disable readdir cache if the unhashed dentry is still referenced
by readdir cache.

Another fix in this patch is handle d_splice_alias(). If a dentry
gets spliced into new parent dentry, treat it as if it was pruned
(call ceph_d_prune() for it).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
