Subject: proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc7~66
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=cac711211a039ae2e2dc6322ffb3c2279d093bf1;ds=sidebyside

proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized

de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is
called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause
something like
remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496
to be printed to the syslog.

The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in
proc_get_inode.
