Subject: [PATCH] securityfs: Add missing d_delete() call on removal

After using simple_unlink(), a call to d_delete() is needed in addition
to dput().

Is this correct? I went looking around and there are a lot of variations
on the simple_unlink() pattern...

Many using explicit locking and combinations of d_drop(), __d_drop(), etc.


Some missing d_delete()?

security/inode.c:			simple_unlink(dir, dentry);
security/inode.c-		d_delete(dentry);
security/inode.c-		dput(dentry);
--
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c:			simple_unlink(d_inode(dir), dentry);
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c-			/* XXX: what was dcache_lock protecting here? Other
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c-			 * filesystems (IB, configfs) release dcache_lock
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c-			 * before unlink */
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c-			dput(dentry);

Should use d_delete() instead of d_drop()?

arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c:			simple_unlink(d_inode(parent), dentry);
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c-	}
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c-	d_drop(dentry);
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c-	dput(dentry);
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c-	inode_unlock(d_inode(parent));
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c-}

Correct?

drivers/android/binderfs.c:		simple_unlink(parent_inode, dentry);
drivers/android/binderfs.c-		d_delete(dentry);
drivers/android/binderfs.c-		dput(dentry);
