| H A D | inode.c | e72b9dd6 Sun Nov 03 12:45:04 CST 2019 Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> ecryptfs_lookup_interpose(): lower_dentry->d_inode is not stable
lower_dentry can't go from positive to negative (we have it pinned),
but it *can* go from negative to positive. So fetching ->d_inode
into a local variable, doing a blocking allocation, checking that
now ->d_inode is non-NULL and feeding the value we'd fetched
earlier to a function that won't accept NULL is not a good idea.
