While adding kernfs node for child to the parent kernfs

This indicates that parent is in kernfs_put path/ or already
freed, and if the child node keeps continue to
make new kernfs node, then there is chance of
below race for parent node:

//Parent node //child node
kernfs_put
atomic_dec_and_test(&kn->count)
//count is 0, so continue
kernfs_new_node(child)
kernfs_get(parent);

/* link in */
kernfs_add_one(kn);
// this should fail as parent is
//in free path.
kernfs_put(child)
kmem_cache_free(parent)
kmem_cache_free(child)
kn = parent
atomic_dec_and_test(&kn->count))
//this is 0 now, so release will
continue for parent.
kmem_cache_free(parent)
To prevent this race, child simply has to decrement count of parent
kernfs node and keep continue the free path for itself.

That's the wrong indentation :(
And how are you hitting this issue? What user of kernfs is causing
this?
Hi Greg,
Thanks, will fix comment indentation, seen during sys-executor running:
We have only one instance , In logs below warning also came:
WARNING: CPU: 4 kernel/msm-4.14/fs/kernfs/dir.c:494 kernfs_get+0x64/0x88
which indicated parent is in put path.

during code review, I have found race between kernfs parent put call and
child get call.
So this is a sysfs usage of this?
yes
Using input devices or cpu devices
for the stress test?
input devices ..
