Subject: relayfs question related to removing parent directory.

I'm seeing a crash when unloading the ath9k module.

It seems relay_close() is being passed bad memory.

The relay_open call uses an ath9k debugfs directory, so
that may be removed before the call to relay_close()
is called.

Does relayfs automatically close files when the parent
directory is removed?

Thanks,
Ben
