    ext4: use file_dentry() · c0a37d48
    Miklos Szeredi authored
    
    
    EXT4 may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
    can lead to a crash.
    
    Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the
    file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.
