The patch titled
proc: fix NULL ->i_fop oops
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proc-fix-null-i_fop-oops.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: proc: fix NULL ->i_fop oops
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxx>
proc_kill_inodes() can clear ->i_fop in the middle of vfs_readdir resulting in
NULL dereference during "file->f_op->readdir(file, buf, filler)".
The solution is to remove proc_kill_inodes() completely:
a) we don't have tricky modules implementing their tricky readdir hooks which
could keeping this revoke from hell.
b) In a situation when module is gone but PDE still alive, standard
readdir will return only "." and "..", because pde->next was cleared by
remove_proc_entry().
c) the race proc_kill_inode() destined to prevent is not completely
fixed, just race window made smaller, because vfs_readdir() is run
without sb_lock held and without file_list_lock held. Effectively,
->i_fop is cleared at random moment, which can't fix properly anything.
