From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 8 May 2015 22:53:15 -0400 Subject: path_openat(): fix double fput() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/f15133df088ecadd141ea1907f2c96df67c729f0 path_openat() jumps to the wrong place after do_tmpfile() - it has already done path_cleanup() (as part of path_lookupat() called by do_tmpfile()), so doing that again can lead to double fput().
