IOW, | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_basic.test | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.test # puts "p_basic" | mkdir /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0:p_sys-t.test # "p_basic" -> -1 throws: | general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI | CPU: 3 PID: 2887 Comm: mkdir | RIP: 0010:module_put.part.31+0xe/0x90 | Call Trace: | module_put+0x13/0x20 | stm_put_protocol+0x11/0x20 [stm_core] | stp_policy_make+0xf1/0x210 [stm_core] | ? __kmalloc+0x183/0x220 | ? configfs_mkdir+0x10d/0x4c0 | configfs_mkdir+0x169/0x4c0 | vfs_mkdir+0x108/0x1c0 | do_mkdirat+0xe8/0x110 | __x64_sys_mkdir+0x1b/0x20 | do_syscall_64+0x5a/0x140 | entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Correct this sad mistake by calling calling 'put' on the correct reference, which happens to match another error path in the same function, so we consolidate the two at the same time.
