From e5110f411d2ee35bf8d202ccca2e89c633060dca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:25:25 +0800 Subject: sysfs: handle failure path correctly for readdir() In case of 'if (filp->f_pos == 0 or 1)' of sysfs_readdir(), the failure from filldir() isn't handled, and the reference counter of the sysfs_dirent object pointed by filp->private_data will be released without clearing filp->private_data, so use after free bug will be triggered later. This patch returns immeadiately under the situation for fixing the bug, and it is reasonable to return from readdir() when filldir() fails.
