Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: Clean up /proc/net/rpc/nfs when nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails.
syzbot reported a warning below [1] following a fault injection in nfs_fs_proc_net_init(). [0]
When nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails, /proc/net/rpc/nfs is not removed.
Later, rpc_proc_exit() tries to remove /proc/net/rpc, and the warning is logged as the directory is not empty.
Let's handle the error of nfs_fs_proc_net_init() properly.
