The same could happen with symlink() instead of mkdir(). 2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them, which may probably confuse VFS. This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories, but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to | read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until the new item creation completes correctly. It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached. 2/ is fixed by next commit.
