From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-5.10.62 commit ef2d68ef9a3bff68915e6fdf5b61822bd1f6af4c bugzilla: 182217 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EFOS Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 580c610429b3994e8db24418927747cf28443cde ] One error path can result in release_dentry_name_snapshot() being called before "name" was initialized by take_dentry_name_snapshot(). Fix by moving the release_dentry_name_snapshot() to immediately after the only use.
