3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Li Zefan <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 712317ad97f41e738e1a19aa0a6392a78a84094e upstream.
We should store file xattrs in struct cfent instead of struct cftype,
because cftype is a type while cfent is object instance of cftype.
For example each cgroup has a tasks file, and each tasks file is
associated with a uniq cfent, but all those files share the same
struct cftype.
Alexey Kodanev reported a crash, which can be reproduced:
# mount -t cgroup -o xattr /sys/fs/cgroup
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
# setfattr -n trusted.value -v test_value /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks
# rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
# umount /sys/fs/cgroup
oops!
In this case, simple_xattrs_free() will free the same struct simple_xattrs
twice.
tj: Dropped unused local variable @cft from cgroup_diput().
