[PATCH] debugfs: only clean up d_fsdata for d_is_reg()

From: Johannes Berg
Date: Thu Nov 09 2023 - 10:07:04 EST


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

debugfs_create_automount() can store a function pointer in
d_fsdata, and for directories it may be NULL. The commit
7c8d469877b1 ("debugfs: add support for more elaborate
->d_fsdata") ignored that, and while freeing NULL is just
fine, if an automount is ever removed we'd attempt to
kfree() the function pointer. This currently never happens
since the only user (tracing) will never remove the
automount dir.

Later patches changed the logic here again to store the
real fops, and store the allocation only after a debugfs
file reference is obtained via debugfs_file_get().

Remove debugfs_release_dentry() so we won't attempt to
do anything common with the different uses of d_fsdata,
and put the freeing of the allocated data where it's last
possibly used, in __debugfs_file_removed(), which is only
called for regular files.

Also check in debugfs_file_get() that it gets only called
on regular files, just to make things clearer.
