(unexpected) In this case mountpoint_last() gets an extra refcount on path->mnt Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin --- fs/namei.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/namei.c b/fs/namei.c index 985c6f3..9eb787e 100644 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@ -2256,9 +2256,10 @@ done: goto out; } path->dentry = dentry; - path->mnt = mntget(nd->path.mnt); + path->mnt = nd->path.mnt; if (should_follow_link(dentry, nd->flags & LOOKUP_FOLLOW)) return 1; + mntget(path->mnt); follow_mount(path); error = 0; out: -- 1.7.5.4
