[ Upstream commit 112cedc8e600b668688eb809bf11817adec58ddc ]
If a kernel module gets unloaded then it printed report about a leak before
commit 275678e7a9be ("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: 275678e7a9be ("debugfs: Check module state before warning in {full/open}_proxy_open()")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
