[PATCH] namei: free new_dentry late

After calling dput(new_dentry), new_dentry is passed to fsnotify_move. This may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the put operation late. Fixes: 49d31c2f389a("dentry name snapshots") Signed-off-by: Pan Bian --- fs/namei.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff
