In fs/sysfs/group.c:
void sysfs_remove_group(struct kobject * kobj,
const struct attribute_group * grp)
{
struct dentry * dir;
if (grp->name)
dir = lookup_one_len(grp->name, kobj->dentry,
strlen(grp->name));
else
dir = dget(kobj->dentry);
remove_files(dir,grp);
if (grp->name)
sysfs_remove_subdir(dir);
/* release the ref. taken in this routine */
dput(dir);
}
'dir' is being used without checking whether lookup_one_len()
succeeded.

Sometimes notebooks have USB devices built-in and they get treated
as if they were hotplugged.
