From fe9fd2ef383c2f5883fcd3f7adce0de9ce2556ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Morris Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 14:59:20 -0700 Subject: Revert "security: inode: fix a missing check for securityfs_create_file" This reverts commit d1a0846006e4325cc951ca0b05c02ed1d0865006. From Al Viro: "Rather bad way to do it - generally, register_filesystem() should be the last thing done by initialization. Any modular code that does unregister_filesystem() on failure exit is flat-out broken; here it's not instantly FUBAR, but it's a bloody bad example. What's more, why not let simple_fill_super() do it? Just static int fill_super(struct super_block *sb, void *data, int silent) { static const struct tree_descr files[] = { {"lsm", &lsm_ops, 0444}, {""} }; and to hell with that call of securityfs_create_file() and all its failure handling..."
