[ Upstream commit7d01ef7585] Initialize them in set_nameidata() and make sure that terminate_walk() clears them once the pointers become potentially invalid (i.e. we leave RCU mode or drop them in non-RCU one). Currently we have "path_init() always initializes them and nobody accesses them outside of path_init()/terminate_walk() segments", which is asking for trouble. With that change we would have nd->path.{mnt,dentry} 1) always valid - NULL or pointing to currently allocated objects. 2) non-NULL while we are successfully walking 3) NULL when we are not walking at all 4) contributing to refcounts whenever non-NULL outside of RCU mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
