Line 1169 (#3) allocates a memory chunk for victim_name by kmalloc(),
but when the function returns in line 1184 (#4) victim_name allcoated
by line 1169 (#3) is not freed, which will lead to a memory leak.
There is a similar snippet of code in this function as allocating a memory
chunk for victim_name in line 1104 (#1) as well as releasing the memory
in line 1116 (#2).
We should kfree() victim_name when the return value of backref_in_log()
is less than zero and before the function returns in line 1184 (#4).

BTW, mind to share the way how you exposed the missing kfree()?
Some awesome static analyse tool or just by eyeballing?
Thanks,
