[PATCH 4.4 13/31] dump_common_audit_data(): fix racy accesses to ->d_name

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-01-22 20:09:46
Also in: lkml

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit d36a1dd9f77ae1e72da48f4123ed35627848507d upstream.

We are not guaranteed the locking environment that would prevent
dentry getting renamed right under us.  And it's possible for
old long name to be freed after rename, leading to UAF here.
