Subject: [PATCH V2] namei: free new_dentry late
Date:   Sun, 25 Nov 2018 08:15:23 +0800
Message-Id: <1543104923-81192-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

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: da1ce0670c14("vfs: add cross-rename")
