From e42344514c6e8ca7f5427da9b1407b56550dfa01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hidetoshi Seto Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 16:38:00 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: remove duplicated dput in sysfs_update_file Following function can drops d_count twice against one reference by lookup_one_len. /** * sysfs_update_file - update the modified timestamp on an object attribute. * @kobj: object we're acting for. * @attr: attribute descriptor. */ int sysfs_update_file(struct kobject * kobj, const struct attribute * attr) { struct dentry * dir = kobj->dentry; struct dentry * victim; int res = -ENOENT; mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex); victim = lookup_one_len(attr->name, dir, strlen(attr->name)); if (!IS_ERR(victim)) { /* make sure dentry is really there */ if (victim->d_inode && (victim->d_parent->d_inode == dir->d_inode)) { victim->d_inode->i_mtime = CURRENT_TIME; fsnotify_modify(victim); /** * Drop reference from initial sysfs_get_dentry(). */ dput(victim); res = 0; } else d_drop(victim); /** * Drop the reference acquired from sysfs_get_dentry() above. */ dput(victim); } mutex_unlock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex); return res; } PCI-hotplug (drivers/pci/hotplug/pci_hotplug_core.c) is only user of this function. I confirmed that dentry of /sys/bus/pci/slots/XXX/* have negative d_count value. This patch removes unnecessary dput().
