From 1c576fdf9f05c6af7b5b029ba010a76bed48488e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Dionne Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 08:43:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Linux: d_splice_alias may drop inode reference on error d_splice_alias now drops the inode reference on error, so we need to grab an extra one to make sure that the inode doesn't go away, and release it when done if there was no error. For kernels that may not drop the reference, provide an additional iput() within an ifdef. This could be hooked up to a configure option to allow building a module for a kernel that is known not to drop the reference on error. That hook is not provided here. Affected kernels should be the early 3.17 ones (3.17 - 3.17.2); 3.16 and older kernels should not return errors here.
