Subject: [PATCH 3.16 090/366] ext4: force revalidation of directory
 pointer after seekdir(2)

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit e40ff213898502d299351cc2fe1e350cd186f0d3 upstream.

A malicious user could force the directory pointer to be in an invalid
spot by using seekdir(2).  Use the mechanism we already have to notice
if the directory has changed since the last time we called
ext4_readdir() to force a revalidation of the pointer.
