From: Al Viro <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit 64fd72e0a44bdd62c5ca277cb24d0d02b2d8e9dc upstream. It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead(). IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching that code. Just move it there.
