Thanks T.J and Christian, thanks everyone for taking time to review this patch.
Charan, actually I don't have a good patch to to fix it, if you can submit
a new patch to solve it, please feel free to do it.
By the way, I'd appreciate it if you could send to me the new patch when you submit it.
Thanks again!
Gaosheng.

Yes, exactly that's the idea.
The only alternatives I can see would be to either move allocating
the
file and so completing the dma_buf initialization last again or just
ignore errors from sysfs.

No, this should be dropped as far as I can see. The sysfs cleanup
code
looks like it can handle not initialized kobj pointers.
Yeah there is also the null check in dma_buf_stats_teardown() that
would prevent it from running, but I understood the comment to be
referring to the release() dma_buf_ops call into the exporter which
comes right after the teardown call. That looks like it's preventing
the fput task work calling back into the exporter after the exporter
already got an error from dma_buf_export(). Otherwise the exporter
sees a release() for a buffer that it doesn't know about / thinks
shouldn't exist. So I could imagine an exporter trying to double free:
once for the failed dma_buf_export() call, and again when the
release() op is called later.
Oh, very good point as well. Yeah, then creating the file should
probably come last.
@Gaosheng: Could you please make these changes or you let me to do?
Regards,
Christian.
