Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: Fix filesystem reference counting on debugfs_remove() failure
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 15:00:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297087227-11480-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
When __debugfs_remove() fails (because simple_rmdir() fails e.g. when a
directory is not empty), we must not decrement use count of the filesystem
as nothing was in fact deleted.
This fixes use after free caused by debugfs in some cases.
