[PATCH 1/2] tracefs: Add missing lockdown check to tracefs_create_dir()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Sep 05 2023 - 16:08:53 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.
