It seems there is no need to take d_lock when accessing dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_ENCRYPTED_WITH_KEY in fscrypt_d_revalidate. It only needs to be serialized for updating. Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang <gaoxiang25@huawei.com> --- Hi, At glance, I have no idea why fscrypt_d_revalidate disables RCU-lookup. Therefore I made patches to raise a question and do some basic test, and it seems to work. Thanks, fs/crypto/crypto.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
