From 24fb33d40d60bd7d196400e7d5b26ff566fd98b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2020 05:15:18 +0100 Subject: fix breakage in do_rmdir() syzbot reported and bisected a use-after-free due to the recent init cleanups. The putname() should happen only after we'd *not* branched to retry, same as it's done in do_unlinkat().
