From: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 35399f87e271f7cf3048eab00a421a6519ac8441 ] In configfs_register_group(), if create_default_group() failed, we forget to unlink the group. It will left a invalid item in the parent list, which may trigger the use-after-free issue seen below: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_add_valid+0xd4/0xe0 lib/list_debug.c:26 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881ef61ae20 by task syz-executor.0/5996 CPU: 1 PID: 5996 Comm: syz-executor.0 Tainted: G C 5.0.0+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:77 [inline] dump_stack+0xa9/0x10e lib/dump_stack.c:113 print_address_description+0x65/0x270 mm/kasan/report.c:187 kasan_report+0x149/0x18d mm/kasan/report.c:317 __list_add_valid+0xd4/0xe0 lib/list_debug.c:26 __list_add include/linux/list.h:60 [inline] list_add_tail include/linux/list.h:93 [inline] link_obj+0xb0/0x190 fs/configfs/dir.c:759 link_group+0x1c/0x130 fs/configfs/dir.c:784 configfs_register_group+0x56/0x1e0 fs/configfs/dir.c:1751 configfs_register_default_group+0x72/0xc0 fs/configfs/dir.c:1834 ?
