From 25d41d8455ec1ee7433e146ee94436dc4195f420 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 15:00:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: Fix filesystem reference counting on debugfs_remove() failure 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.
