From e75206517504461778c283b942440ef312e437d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Rilling Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:26:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] configfs: call drop_link() to cleanup after create_link() failure When allow_link() succeeds but create_link() fails, the subsystem is not informed of the failure. This patch fixes this by calling drop_link() on create_link() failures.
