ext4: check to make sure the rename(2)'s destination is not freed
If the destination of the rename(2) system call exists, the inode's link count (i_nlinks) must be non-zero. If it is, the inode can end up on the orphan list prematurely, leading to all sorts of hilarity, including a use-after-free. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200931 Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reported-by: Wen Xu <wen.xu@gatech.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
