<id>urn:sha1:93b919da64c15b90953f96a536e5e61df896ca57</id>
<content type='text'>
symlink body shouldn't be freed without an RCU delay.  Switch debugfs to
-&gt;destroy_inode() and use of call_rcu(); free both the inode and symlink
body in the callback.  Similar to solution for bpf, only here it's even
more obvious that -&gt;evict_inode() can be dropped.

<title>debugfs: debugfs_lookup() should return NULL if not found</title>

Lots of callers of debugfs_lookup() were just checking NULL to see if
the file/directory was found or not.  By changing this in ff9fb72bc077
("debugfs: return error values, not NULL") we caused some subsystems to
easily crash.

Fixes: ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values, not NULL")

<content type='text'>
When an error happens, debugfs should return an error pointer value, not
NULL.  This will prevent the totally theoretical error where a debugfs
call fails due to lack of memory, returning NULL, and that dentry value
is then passed to another debugfs call, which would end up succeeding,
creating a file at the root of the debugfs tree, but would then be
impossible to remove (because you can not remove the directory NULL).

So, to make everyone happy, always return errors, this makes the users
of debugfs much simpler (they do not have to ever check the return
value), and everyone can rest easy.

<title>debugfs: fix debugfs_rename parameter checking</title>

debugfs_rename() needs to check that the dentries passed into it really
are valid, as sometimes they are not (i.e. if the return value of
another debugfs call is passed into this one.)  So fix this up by
properly checking if the two parent directories are errors (they are
allowed to be NULL), and if the dentry to rename is not NULL or an
error.

<title>Revert "debugfs: inode: debugfs_create_dir uses mode permission from parent"</title>

This reverts commit 95cde3c59966f6371b6bcd9e4e2da2ba64ee9775.

The commit had good intentions, but it breaks kvm-tool and qemu-kvm.

With it in place, "lkvm run" just fails with

  Error: KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl
  Warning: Failed init: kvm__init

which isn't a wonderful error message, but bisection pinpointed the
problematic commit.

The problem is almost certainly due to the special kvm debugfs entries
created dynamically by kvm under /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/.  See
kvm_create_vm_debugfs()

Currently function debugfs_create_dir() creates a new
directory in the debugfs (usually mounted /sys/kernel/debug)
with permission rwxr-xr-x. This is hard coded.

Change this to use the parent directory permission.
