From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 112cedc8e600b668688eb809bf11817adec58ddc ] If a kernel module gets unloaded then it printed report about a leak before commit 275678e7a9be ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in {full/open}_proxy_open()"). An additional check was added in this commit to avoid this printing. But it was forgotten that the function must return an error in this case because it was not actually opened. As result, the systems started to crash or to hang when a module was unloaded while something was trying to open a file. Fixes: 275678e7a9be ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in {full/open}_proxy_open()") Cc: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Mário Lopes <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210802162444.7848-1-sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/debugfs/file.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/debugfs/file.c b/fs/debugfs/file.c index df00231d3ecc..7d162b0efbf0 100644 --- a/fs/debugfs/file.c +++ b/fs/debugfs/file.c @@ -179,8 +179,10 @@ static int open_proxy_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) if (!fops_get(real_fops)) { #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES if (real_fops->owner && - real_fops->owner->state == MODULE_STATE_GOING) + real_fops->owner->state == MODULE_STATE_GOING) { + r = -ENXIO; goto out; + } #endif /* Huh?
