Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH v2 0/2] configfs: Fix cleanup after mkdir() failure

 [ applies on top of http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/23/145 aka symlink() fixes ]

Hi,

This patchset fixes two kinds of bugs happening when
configfs_attach_group()/configfs_attach_item() fail and userspace races with
mkdir() or symlink().

Please read the first patch header for a detailed scenario explaining the bugs.

Louis

Changelog:
  - Few code reworks as requested by Joel (details in patch headers)

Summary (2):
  configfs: Prevent userspace from creating new entries under attaching
    directories
  configfs: Lock new directory inodes before removing on cleanup after
    failure
