__choose_mds exists to pick an MDS to use when issuing a call. Doing that typically involves picking an inode and using the authoritative MDS for it. In most cases, that's pretty straightforward, as we are using an inode to which we hold a reference (usually represented by r_dentry or r_inode in the request). In the case of a snapshotted directory however, we need to fetch the non-snapped parent, which involves walking back up the parents in the tree. The dentries in the snapshot dir are effectively frozen but the overall parent is _not_, and could vanish if a concurrent rename were to occur. Clean this code up and take special care to ensure the validity of the entries we're working with. First, try to use the inode in r_locked_dir if one exists. If not and all we have is r_dentry, then we have to walk back up the tree. Use the rcu_read_lock for this so we can ensure that any d_parent we find won't go away, and take extra care to deal with the possibility that the dentries could go negative. Change get_nonsnap_parent to return an inode, and take a reference to that inode before returning (if any). Change all of the other places where we set "inode" in __choose_mds to also take a reference, and then call iput on that inode before exiting the function.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
