kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir() If getdents64 is killed or hits on segfault, it'll leave cgroups directories in sysfs pinned leaking memory because the kernfs node won't be freed on rmdir and the parent neither. Repro: # for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done # rmdir * # for i in `seq 1000`; do mkdir $i; done # rmdir * # for i in `seq 1000`; do while :; do ls $i/ >/dev/null; done & done # while :; do killall ls; done kernfs_node_cache in /proc/slabinfo keeps going up as expected.
