temp is not defined outside of the RCU critical section here. Ensure
we grab that value before we drop the rcu_read_lock.

Umm...  Freeing (including freeing the name) is postponed by holding
rcu_read_lock().  Children moving away + dentry going negative
is *not*.

What are you trying to return there, anyway?  Root or, in case of
stop_on_nosnap, CEPH_NOSNAP one you'd stepped into?

The latter I'd suggest to handle while under ->d_lock; the former
ought to be safe if it's fs root.  Details, please...

Another fun question is whether you can hit a disconnected subtree
from open-by-fhandle in process.  That might get uncomfortable,
since you'd get the tail of actual pathname and the length will
depend upon the timing.

Yep. This patch is just aimed at "let's prevent an oops". Whether the
resulting string makes any sense is another matter entirely.

Correct, AFAIU.

I'm still rather new to this code, but...basically stop_on_nonsnap is
always set, other than in two cases:

1/ printing pathnames (generally for debugfs)

2/ legacy protocol version handling

The first we don't really care too much about correctness in the face of
races, only that we have a consistent string of some sort. The second
might matter, but those really old protocol versions are not in wide
usage. Ceph has a lot of legacy cruft.

In any case, most of the calls that involve filenames end up getting a
parent inode number and a single dentry name. For snapshots you'll get a
non-snapped parent inode number (generally the one of the .snap
directory) and full path from there to the dentry. Snapshots are read-
only though so in principle that tree should be relatively static.

Before it returns, ceph_mdsc_build_path does this:

if (pos != 0 || read_seqretry(&rename_lock, seq)) {
	kfree(path);
	goto retry;
}

If we end up with a path that has a different length than the one we
originally allocated, we'll do the whole thing over again.

I think the only place that's really a problem is when we're talking to
a legacy protocol server? Maybe one of the ceph maintainers can step in
and clarify this point.
