From 65c333367b1aea57d58168ad3dc1df27b0227401 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 13:50:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] DebugFS : more file/directory creation error handling Correct dentry count to handle creation errors. This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal : lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then, the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference counter, therefore making file removal impossible.
