commitea5751ccd6upstream. proc_sys_lookup can fail with ENOMEM instead of ENOENT when the corresponding sysctl table is being unregistered. In our case we see this upon opening /proc/sys/net/*/conf files while network interfaces are being deleted, which confuses our configuration daemon. The problem was successfully reproduced and this fix tested on v4.9.122 and v4.20-rc6. v2: return ERR_PTRs in all cases when proc_sys_make_inode fails instead of mixing them with NULL. Thanks Al Viro for the feedback. Fixes:ace0c791e6("proc/sysctl: Don't grab i_lock under sysctl_lock.")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
