ocfs2: subsystem.su_mutex is required while accessing the item->ci_parent
The subsystem.su_mutex is required while accessing the item->ci_parent, otherwise, NULL pointer dereference to the item->ci_parent will be triggered in the following situation: add node delete node sys_write vfs_write configfs_write_file o2nm_node_store o2nm_node_local_write do_rmdir vfs_rmdir configfs_rmdir mutex_lock(&subsys->su_mutex); unlink_obj item->ci_group = NULL; item->ci_parent = NULL; to_o2nm_cluster_from_node node->nd_item.ci_parent->ci_parent BUG since of NULL pointer dereference to nd_item.ci_parent Moreover, the o2nm_cluster also should be protected by the subsystem.su_mutex.
