From d43be02fc40b87b88426251e62f02b3bf55c99ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 6 May 2021 18:02:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc/generic.c: fix incorrect pde_is_permanent check [ Upstream commit f4bf74d82915708208bc9d0c9bd3f769f56bfbec ] Currently the pde_is_permanent() check is being run on root multiple times rather than on the next proc directory entry. This looks like a copy-paste error. Fix this by replacing root with next.
