Tejun Heo db4aad209b kernfs: associate a new kernfs_node with its parent on creation ... Once created, a kernfs_node is always destroyed by kernfs_put(). Since ba7443bc65 ("sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()"), kernfs_put() depends on kernfs_root() to locate the ino_ida. kernfs_root() in turn depends on kernfs_node->parent being set for !dir nodes. This means that kernfs_put() of a !dir node requires its ->parent to be initialized. This leads to oops when a newly created !dir node is destroyed without going through kernfs_add_one() or after failing kernfs_add_one() before ->parent is set. kernfs_root() invoked from kernfs_put() will try to dereference NULL parent. Fix it by moving parent association to kernfs_new_node() from kernfs_add_one(). kernfs_new_node() now takes @parent instead of @root and determines the root from the parent and also sets the new node's parent properly. @parent parameter is removed from kernfs_add_one(). As there's no parent when creating the root node, __kernfs_new_node() which takes @root as before and doesn't set the parent is used in that case. This ensures that a kernfs_node in any stage in its life has its parent associated and thus can be put.
