commit67d69e9d1aupstream. AUDIT_TRIM is expected to be idempotent, but multiple executions resulted in a refcount underflow and use-after-free. git bisect fingered commitfb041bb7c0("locking/refcount: Consolidate implementations of refcount_t") but this patch with its more thorough checking that wasn't in the x86 assembly code merely exposed a previously existing tree refcount imbalance in the case of tree trimming code that was refactored with prune_one() to remove a tree introduced in commit8432c70062("audit: Simplify locking around untag_chunk()") Move the put_tree() to cover only the prune_one() case. Passes audit-testsuite and 3 passes of "auditctl -t" with at least one directory watch.

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.
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.
