From eed7a0db460595b139428d252798a83f1e1ce1d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Becker Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 21:37:20 -0700 Subject: configfs: configfs_mkdir() failed to cleanup linkage. If configfs_mkdir() errored in certain ways after the parent<->child linkage was already created, it would not undo the linkage. Also, comment the reference counting for clarity.
