Subject[PATCH 4.9 078/111] configfs: fix registered group removal
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit cc57c07343bd071cdf1915a91a24ab7d40c9b590 ]

This patch fixes a bug where configfs_register_group had added
a group in a tree, and userspace has done a rmdir on a dir somewhere
above that group and we hit a kernel crash. The problem is configfs_rmdir
will detach everything under it and unlink groups on the default_groups
list. It will not unlink groups added with configfs_register_group so when
configfs_unregister_group is called to drop its references to the group/items
we crash when we try to access the freed dentrys.

The patch just adds a check for if a rmdir has been done above
us and if so just does the unlink part of unregistration.

Sorry if you are getting this multiple times. I thouhgt I sent
this to some of you and lkml, but I do not see it.
