Subject: [PATCH v2] configfs: Fix config_item refcnt error in __configfs_open_file()
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 12:35:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210311113510.1031406-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

From: Daniel Rosenberg <drosen@google.com>

__configfs_open_file() used to use configfs_get_config_item, but changed
in commit b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and
removals") to just call to_item. The error path still tries to clean up
the reference, incorrectly decrementing the ref count.
