load_misc_binary() makes a local copy of fmt->interpreter under
entries_lock to avoid the race with kill_node() but this is not enough;
the whole Node can be freed after we drop entries_lock, not only the
->interpreter string.

Add dget/dput(fmt->dentry) to ensure bm_evict_inode() can't destroy/free
this Node.

History
Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
