Subject: [PATCH v2 7/9] ubifs: sysfs: Use kset_create_and_add() for ubifs_kset
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:38:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027223847.652884-8-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027223847.652884-1-irogers@google.com>
ubifs_kset was a static struct kset using a custom ubifs_ktype that
had no default_groups and no .release callback. With
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y, unloading the ubifs module while delayed
kobject release is pending causes a use-after-free on the static kset.
Replace the static ubifs_kset and empty ubifs_ktype with a dynamically
allocated kset via kset_create_and_add().
Fixes: 203a55f04f66 ("ubifs: Fix memory leak in ubifs_sysfs_init()")
