OOPS in configfs when doing d_delete

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

when configfs_attach_group fails in configfs_register_subsystem:
        dentry = d_alloc(configfs_sb->s_root, &name);
        if (dentry) {
                d_add(dentry, NULL);

                err = configfs_attach_group(sd->s_element, &group->cg_item,
                                            dentry);
                if (err) {
                        d_delete(dentry);
                        dput(dentry);


d_delete kills the kernel. I don't know what the actual bug is here, but
d_delete looks broken anyway:
        spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock);
        inode = dentry->d_inode;
        isdir = S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode);  <======== dereference
        if (dentry->d_count == 1) {
                if (inode && !spin_trylock(&inode->i_lock)) {
                    ^^^^^  <============= test

It seems like a superfluous test, not a potential null dereference to
me, right?
