This is because the refcount is not correct in configfs_make_dirent().
For normal stage, the refcount is changing as:
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent()
configfs_new_dirent() # set s_count = 1
dentry->d_fsdata = configfs_get(sd); # s_count = 2
...
configfs_unregister_subsystem()
configfs_remove_dir()
remove_dir()
configfs_remove_dirent() # s_count = 1
dput() ...
*dentry_unlink_inode()*
configfs_d_iput() # s_count = 0, release
However, if we failed in configfs_create():
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent() # s_count = 2
...
configfs_create() # fail
->out_remove:
configfs_remove_dirent(dentry)
configfs_put(sd) # s_count = 1
return PTR_ERR(inode);
There is no inode in the error path, so the configfs_d_iput() is lost
and makes sd and fragment memory leaked.
To fix this, when we failed in configfs_create(), manually call
configfs_put(sd) to keep the refcount correct.
