[ Upstream commit 876c553cb41026cb6ad3cef970a35e5f69c42a25 ] Between opening a file and setting a delegation on it, someone could rename or unlink the dentry. If this happens, we do not want to grant a delegation on the open. On a CLAIM_NULL open, we're opening by filename, and we may (in the non-create case) or may not (in the create case) be holding i_rwsem when attempting to set a delegation. The latter case allows a race. After getting a lease, redo the lookup of the file being opened and validate that the resulting dentry matches the one in the open file description. To properly redo the lookup we need an rqst pointer to pass to nfsd_lookup_dentry(), so make sure that is available.

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 Restructured Text 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.
