[for-linus][PATCH 03/15] tracefs/eventfs: Use dput to free the toplevel events directory

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Sep 08 2023 - 23:23:52 EST


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

Currently when rmdir on an instance is done, eventfs_remove_events_dir()
is called and it does a dput on the dentry and then frees the
eventfs_inode that represents the events directory.

But there's no protection against a reader reading the top level events
directory at the same time and we can get a use after free error. Instead,
use the dput() associated to the dentry to also free the eventfs_inode
associated to the events directory, as that will get called when the last
reference to the directory is released.

This issue triggered the following KASAN report:
