several iterations of ->atomic_open() calling conventions ago, we used to need fput() if ->atomic_open() failed at some point after successful finish_open(). Now (since 2016) it's not needed - struct file carries enough state to make fput() work regardless of the point in struct file lifecycle and discarding it on failure exits in open() got unified. Unfortunately, I'd missed the fact that we had an instance of ->atomic_open() (cifs one) that used to need that fput(), as well as the stale comment in finish_open() demanding such late failure handling. Trivially fixed... Fixes: fe9ec829 "do_last(): take fput() on error after opening to out:" Cc: stable@kernel.org # v4.7+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
