[PATCH] proc: proc_get_inode should de_put when inode already initialized
From: Krzysztof Sachanowicz
Date: Mon Feb 23 2009 - 16:22:19 EST
de_get is called before every proc_get_inode, but corresponding de_put is
called only when dropping last reference to an inode. This might cause
something like
remove_proc_entry: /proc/stats busy, count=14496
to be printed to the syslog.
The fix is to call de_put in case of an already initialized inode in
proc_get_inode.
