Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix potential use after free
Date:   Sun, 25 Nov 2018 09:27:17 +0800
Message-Id: <1543109237-110227-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The function ocfs2_get_dentry calls iput(inode) to drop the reference
count of inode, and if the reference count hits 0, inode is freed.
However, in this function, it then reads inode->i_generation, which may
result in a use after free bug. This patch moves the put operation
later.

Fixes: 781f200cb7a("ocfs2: Remove masklog ML_EXPORT.")
