commitf16857e62bupstream. nfs_unlink() calls d_delete() twice if it receives ENOENT from the server - once in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() from nfs_safe_remove and once in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error(). nfs_rmddir() also calls it twice - the nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() call is direct and inside a region locked with ->rmdir_sem It is safe to call d_delete() twice if the refcount > 1 as the dentry is simply unhashed. If the refcount is 1, the first call sets d_inode to NULL and the second call crashes. This patch guards the d_delete() call from nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() leaving the one under ->remdir_sem in case that is important. In mainline it would be safe to remove the d_delete() call. However in older kernels to which this might be backported, that would change the behaviour of nfs_unlink(). nfs_unlink() used to unhash the dentry which resulted in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() not calling d_delete(). So in older kernels we need the d_delete() in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error() when called from nfs_unlink() but not when called from nfs_rmdir(). To make the code work correctly for old and new kernels, and from both nfs_unlink() and nfs_rmdir(), we protect the d_delete() call with simple_positive(). This ensures it is never called in a circumstance where it could crash.

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.
