Subject: [PATCH 16/39] convert pstore
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:47:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920074759.3564072-16-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250920074759.3564072-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

object creation by d_alloc_name()+d_add() in pstore_mkfile(), removal -
via normal VFS codepaths (with ->unlink() using simple_unlink()) or
in pstore_put_backend_records() via locked_recursive_removal()

Replace d_add() with d_make_persistent()+dput() - that's what really
happens there.  The reference that goes into record->dentry is valid
only until the unlink (and explicitly cleared by pstore_unlink()).
