That fixes it. *grumble* OK, I suppose it'll do for backports, but longer term... I don't like how convoluted the rules for nameidata fields' validity are. In particular, for nd->path I would rather have it * cleared in set_nameidata() * cleared when it become invalid. That would be * places that drop rcu_read_lock() without having legitimized the sucker (already done, except for terminate_walk()) * terminate_walk() in non-RCU case after path_put(&nd->path) OTOH... wait a sec - the whole thing is this cycle regression, so... Could you verify that the variant below fixes that crap? Make sure nd->path.mnt and nd->path.dentry are always valid pointers Initialize them in set_nameidata() and make sure that terminate_walk() clears them once the pointers become potentially invalid (i.e. we leave RCU mode or drop them in non-RCU one). Currently we have "path_init() always initializes them and nobody accesses them outside of path_init()/terminate_walk() segments", which is asking for trouble. With that change we would have nd->path.{mnt,dentry} 1) always valid - NULL or pointing to currently allocated objects. 2) non-NULL while we are successfully walking 3) NULL when we are not walking at all 4) contributing to refcounts whenever non-NULL outside of RCU mode.
