Please see 1/1. Changes: - s/list_next_entry/list_entry/. It would be nice to move list_next_entry() from kernel/events/core.c to list.h but this needs another patch - Do "parent = parent->d_parent" before "!= dentry" check, this factors out the common code in "goto up" and final __debugfs_remove(dentry) - Add simple_release_fs() back. The patch is hardly readable, so I attached the code below again. Note!!! The changelog contains the simple test-case. However, this test-case can actually reveal more problems because kernel/trace/ is buggy too. (hopefully we already have the necessary fixes). Steven, Greg. Assuming that nobody objects and the patch is fine. Perhaps this patch can be routed via rostedt/linux-trace tree? This connects to other problems we are working on, it would be nice to have this patch in the same tree to simplify the testing. Oleg. void debugfs_remove_recursive(struct dentry *dentry) { struct dentry *child, *next, *parent; if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(dentry)) return; parent = dentry->d_parent; if (!parent || !parent->d_inode) return; parent = dentry; down: mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex); list_for_each_entry_safe(child, next, &parent->d_subdirs, d_u.d_child) { if (!debugfs_positive(child)) continue; /* perhaps simple_empty(child) makes more sense */ if (!list_empty(&child->d_subdirs)) { mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex); parent = child; goto down; } up: if (!__debugfs_remove(child, parent)) simple_release_fs(&debugfs_mount, &debugfs_mount_count); } mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex); child = parent; parent = parent->d_parent; mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex); if (child != dentry) { next = list_entry(child->d_u.d_child.next, struct dentry, d_u.d_child); goto up; } if (!__debugfs_remove(child, parent)) simple_release_fs(&debugfs_mount, &debugfs_mount_count); mutex_unlock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex); } -- 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/
