From 7c7dce9209161eb260cdf9e9172f72c3a02379e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Viro Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 15:29:55 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open() expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open() or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open(). Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open() same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly; that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on normal path.
