Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drivers: base: dd: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2023 15:16:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230202141621.2296458-2-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230202141621.2296458-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.
