Tetsuo Handa d0118d7d20 ocfs2: update d_splice_alias() return code checking
When commit d3556babd7 ("ocfs2: fix d_splice_alias() return code
checking") was merged into v3.18-rc3, d_splice_alias() was returning one
of a valid dentry, NULL or an ERR_PTR.

When commit b5ae6b15bd ("merge d_materialise_unique() into
d_splice_alias()") was merged into v3.19-rc1, d_splice_alias() started
returning -ELOOP as one of ERR_PTR values.

Now, when syzkaller mounts a crafted ocfs2 filesystem image that hits
d_splice_alias() == -ELOOP case from ocfs2_lookup(), ocfs2_lookup() fails
to handle -ELOOP case and generic_shutdown_super() hits "VFS: Busy inodes
after unmount" message.

Instead of calling ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() or ocfs2_dentry_attach_gen()
when d_splice_alias() returned an ERR_PTR value, change ocfs2_lookup() to
bail out immediately.

Also, ocfs2_lookup() needs to call dupt() when ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
returned an ERR_PTR value.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
