From 47a52e91f485dfd935042dbd2f66df1ac3fdfbb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 16:02:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: update kernfs_rename_ns() to consider KERNFS_STATIC_NAME kernfs_rename_ns() currently assumes that the target sysfs_dirent has a copied name. This has been okay because sysfs supports rename only for directories which always have copied names; however, there's nothing in kernfs interface which calls for such restriction and currently invoking kernfs_rename_ns() on a regular file leads to oops because it ends up trying to kfree() a static name. This patch updates kernfs_rename_ns() so that it skips kfree() of the old name if it's static. This allows it to be used for all node types.
