Looks there is no the symbol in linus tree, and not necessary since rb_link_node() may initialize the node correctly. Also I can't reproduce the problem on my Pandaboard with trinity, maybe the below debug code can find the name of the affected node if anyone would like to test it. -- diff --git a/fs/sysfs/dir.c b/fs/sysfs/dir.c index 2fbdff6..9aa11c7 100644 --- a/fs/sysfs/dir.c +++ b/fs/sysfs/dir.c @@ -281,6 +281,10 @@ void release_sysfs_dirent(struct sysfs_dirent * sd) */ parent_sd = sd->s_parent; + if(!(sd->s_flags & SYSFS_FLAG_REMOVED)) + printk("%s sysfs_dirent use after free: %s-%s\n", + __func__, parent_sd->s_name, sd->s_name); + if (sysfs_type(sd) == SYSFS_KOBJ_LINK) sysfs_put(sd->s_symlink.target_sd); if (sysfs_type(sd) & SYSFS_COPY_NAME) @@ -962,6 +966,9 @@ static struct sysfs_dirent *sysfs_dir_pos(const void *ns, int valid = !(pos->s_flags & SYSFS_FLAG_REMOVED) && pos->s_parent == parent_sd && hash == pos->s_hash; + if (valid && (atomic_read(&pos->s_count) <= 1)) + printk("%s sysfs_dirent use after free: %s-%s\n", + __func__, parent_sd->s_name, pos->s_name); sysfs_put(pos); if (!valid) pos = NULL; Thanks, -- Ming Lei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
