      NFS: fix two problems in lookup_revalidate in RCU-walk · 50d77739
      NeilBrown authored
      1/ rcu_dereference isn't correct: that field isn't
         RCU protected.   It could potentially change at any time
         so ACCESS_ONCE might be justified.
      
         changes to ->d_parent are protected by ->d_seq.  However
         that isn't always checked after ->d_revalidate is called,
         so it is safest to keep the double-check that ->d_parent
         hasn't changed at the end of these functions.
      
      2/ in nfs4_lookup_revalidate, "->d_parent" was forgotten.
         So 'parent' was not the parent of 'dentry'.
         This fails safe is the context is that dentry->d_inode is
         NULL, and the result of parent->d_inode being NULL is
         that ECHILD is returned, which is always safe.
