![]() It might be a kernel disaster if one sysfs entry is freed but still referenced by sysfs tree. Recently Dave and Sasha reported one use-after-free problem on sysfs entry, and the problem has been troubleshooted with help of debug message added in this patch. Given sysfs_get_dirent/sysfs_put are exported APIs, even inside sysfs they are called in many contexts(kobject/attribe add/delete, inode init/drop, dentry lookup/release, readdir, ...), it is healthful to check the removed flag before freeing one entry and dump message if it is freeing without being removed first.
