Readdir cache keeps array of dentry pointers in page cache. If any dentry in readdir cache gets pruned, ceph_d_prune() disables readdir cache for later readdir syscall. The problem is that ceph_d_prune() ignores unhashed dentry. Ideally MDS should have already revoked CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED (which also disables readdir cache) when dentry gets unhashed. But if it is somehow MDS does not properly revoke CEPH_CAP_FILE_SHARED and the unhashed dentry gets pruned later, ceph_d_prune() will not disable readdir cache, later readdir may reference invalid dentry pointer. The fix is make ceph_d_prune() do extra check for unhashed dentry. Disable readdir cache if the unhashed dentry is still referenced by readdir cache. Another fix in this patch is handle d_splice_alias(). If a dentry gets spliced into new parent dentry, treat it as if it was pruned (call ceph_d_prune() for it).

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.
