eCryptfs: Lock lower directory inode mutex during lookup
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch locks the lower directory inode's i_mutex before calling
lookup_one_len() to find the appropriate dentry in the lower filesystem.
This bug was found thanks to the warning set in commit 2f9092e.
