[ Upstream commit 17243e1c3072b8417a5ebfc53065d0a87af7ca77 ]

kobject_put() should be used to cleanup the memory associated with the
kobject instead of kobject_del().  See the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst".

If kobject_init_and_add returns with error, kobject_put() is needed here
to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return error
without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.

[ Upstream commit dbc6e7d44a514f231a64d9d5676e001b660b6448 ]

In nilfs_##name##_attr_release, kobj-&gt;parent should not be referenced
because it is a NULL pointer.  The release() method of kobject is always
called in kobject_put(kobj), in the implementation of kobject_put(), the
kobj-&gt;parent will be assigned as NULL before call the release() method.
So just use kobj to get the subgroups, which is more efficient and can fix
a NULL pointer reference problem.

[ Upstream commit 5f5dec07aca7067216ed4c1342e464e7307a9197 ]

Patch series "nilfs2: fix incorrect usage of kobject".

This patchset from Nanyong Sun fixes memory leak issues and a NULL
pointer dereference issue caused by incorrect usage of kboject in nilfs2
sysfs implementation.

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, then the cleanup of kobject
is needed because memory may be allocated in kobject_init_and_add
without freeing.

And the place of cleanup_dev_kobject should use kobject_put to free the
memory associated with the kobject.  As the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst" says, kobject_del() just makes the
kobject "invisible", but it is not cleaned up.  And no more cleanup will
do after cleanup_dev_kobject, so kobject_put is needed here.

commit 98e2e409e76ef7781d8511f997359e9c504a95c1 upstream.

When the refcount is decreased to 0, the resource reclamation branch is
entered.  Before CPU0 reaches the race point (1), CPU1 may obtain the
spinlock and traverse the rbtree to find 'root', see
nilfs_lookup_root().

Although CPU1 will call refcount_inc() to increase the refcount, it is
obviously too late.  CPU0 will release 'root' directly, CPU1 then
accesses 'root' and triggers UAF.

Use refcount_dec_and_lock() to ensure that both the operations of
decrease refcount to 0 and link deletion are lock protected eliminates
this risk.
