nfs: make nfs_set_verifier() safe for use in RCU pathwalk
nfs_set_verifier() relies upon dentry being pinned; if that's
the case, grabbing ->d_lock stabilizes ->d_parent and guarantees
that ->d_parent points to a positive dentry. For something
we'd run into in RCU mode that is *not* true - dentry might've
been through dentry_kill() just as we grabbed ->d_lock, with
its parent going through the same just as we get to into
nfs_set_verifier_locked(). It might get to detaching inode
(and zeroing ->d_inode) before nfs_set_verifier_locked() gets
to fetching that; we get an oops as the result.
That can happen in nfs{,4} ->d_revalidate(); the call chain in
question is nfs_set_verifier_locked() <- nfs_set_verifier() <-
nfs_lookup_revalidate_delegated() <- nfs{,4}_do_lookup_revalidate().
We have checked that the parent had been positive, but that's
done before we get to nfs_set_verifier() and it's possible for
memory pressure to pick our dentry as eviction candidate by that
time. If that happens, back-to-back attempts to kill dentry and
its parent are quite normal. Sure, in case of eviction we'll
fail the ->d_seq check in the caller, but we need to survive
until we return there...
