debugfs: Return error during {full/open}_proxy_open() on rmmod
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 112cedc ]

If a kernel module gets unloaded then it printed report about a leak before
commit 275678e ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in
{full/open}_proxy_open()"). An additional check was added in this commit to
avoid this printing. But it was forgotten that the function must return an
error in this case because it was not actually opened.

As result, the systems started to crash or to hang when a module was
unloaded while something was trying to open a file.

Fixes: 275678e ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in {full/open}_proxy_open()")
