From cac711211a039ae2e2dc6322ffb3c2279d093bf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Sachanowicz Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:21:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause something like remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496 to be printed to the syslog. The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in proc_get_inode.
