[ Upstream commit 17243e1c3072b8417a5ebfc53065d0a87af7ca77 ]

kobject_put() should be used to cleanup the memory associated with the
kobject instead of kobject_del().  See the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst".

If kobject_init_and_add returns with error, kobject_put() is needed here
to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return error
without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.

[ Upstream commit dbc6e7d44a514f231a64d9d5676e001b660b6448 ]

In nilfs_##name##_attr_release, kobj-&gt;parent should not be referenced
because it is a NULL pointer.  The release() method of kobject is always
called in kobject_put(kobj), in the implementation of kobject_put(), the
kobj-&gt;parent will be assigned as NULL before call the release() method.
So just use kobj to get the subgroups, which is more efficient and can fix
a NULL pointer reference problem.

[ Upstream commit 5f5dec07aca7067216ed4c1342e464e7307a9197 ]

Patch series "nilfs2: fix incorrect usage of kobject".

This patchset from Nanyong Sun fixes memory leak issues and a NULL
pointer dereference issue caused by incorrect usage of kboject in nilfs2
sysfs implementation.

If kobject_init_and_add return with error, then the cleanup of kobject
is needed because memory may be allocated in kobject_init_and_add
without freeing.

And the place of cleanup_dev_kobject should use kobject_put to free the
memory associated with the kobject.  As the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst" says, kobject_del() just makes the
kobject "invisible", but it is not cleaned up.  And no more cleanup will
do after cleanup_dev_kobject, so kobject_put is needed here.

[ Upstream commit 8fd0c1b0647a6bda4067ee0cd61e8395954b6f28 ]

My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in nilfs2.  The problem was in
missing kobject_put() in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group().

kobject_del() does not call kobject_cleanup() for passed kobject and it
leads to leaking duped kobject name if kobject_put() was not called.

Fail log:

<title>nilfs2: fix misuse of a semaphore in sysfs code</title>

Variables ns_seg_seq, ns_segnum, ns_nextnum, ns_pseg_offset, ns_cno,
ns_ctime, ns_nongc_ctime, and ns_ndirtyblks, are protected by
ns_segctor_sem, but ns_sem is wrongly used by the nilfs sysfs code when
reading these variables.  This fixes the misuse and clarifies which
semaphore protects them in the comment of the_nilfs struct.

<content type='text'>
Replace most use of printk() in nilfs2 implementation with nilfs_msg(),
and reduce the following checkpatch.pl warning:

  "WARNING: Prefer [subsystem eg: netdev]_crit([subsystem]dev, ...
   then dev_crit(dev, ... then pr_crit(...  to printk(KERN_CRIT ..."

This patch also fixes a minor checkpatch warning "WARNING: quoted string
split across lines" that often accompanies the prior warning, and amends
message format as needed.
