Subject: [PATCH] staging: pi433: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
Date: Thu,  2 Feb 2023 15:11:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230202141138.2291946-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

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.  This requires saving off the root directory dentry to make
creation of individual device subdirectories easier.
