Subject: [PATCH 2.6.24-rc7 2/2] sysfs: fix bugs in sysfs_rename/move_dir()
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:10:53 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <478D75BD.1010805@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <478D74A6.7000206@gmail.com>

sysfs_rename/move_dir() have the following bugs.

* On dentry lookup failure, kfree() is called on ERR_PTR() value.
* sysfs_move_dir() has an extra dput() on success path.

Fix them.
