ocfs2: check existence of old dentry in ocfs2_link()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
System call linkat first calls user_path_at(), check the existence of
old dentry, and then calls vfs_link()->ocfs2_link() to do the actual
work.  There may exist a race when Node A create a hard link for file
while node B rm it.

         Node A                          Node B
user_path_at()
  ->ocfs2_lookup(),
find old dentry exist
                                rm file, add inode say inodeA
                                to orphan_dir

call ocfs2_link(),create a
hard link for inodeA.

                                rm the link, add inodeA to orphan_dir
                                again

When orphan_scan work start, it calls ocfs2_queue_orphans() to do the
main work.  It first tranverses entrys in orphan_dir, linking all inodes
in this orphan_dir to a list look like this:

	inodeA->inodeB->...->inodeA

When tranvering this list, it will fall into loop, calling iput() again
and again.  And finally trigger BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR).
