Hi Daniel,

Could you please try the below patch?

It's actually three patches rolled into one:

1) ext4: use dget_parent() in ext4_file_open()

   Even with dget_parent() we don't hold i_mutex on directory and so the file
   could be moved in the mean time.  Not sure if it's a problem.  Ted?

2) vfs: add file_dentry()

   Posted here:
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=145745197615687&w=2

3) ext4: use file_dentry()

   s/\([a-z_]*\)->f_path\.dentry/file_dentry(\1)/

Thanks,
Miklos
