Subject: [PATCH v4] mtd: spi-nor: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()
Date: Wed,  8 Feb 2023 17:02:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230208160230.2179905-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time.  To solve this, remove the
lookup and create the directory on the first device found, and then
remove it when the module is unloaded.

v4: reverse the teardown order when the module is unloaded to ensure
    that the debugfs directory is still around when the device directory
    is removed.
v3: create the directory the first time it is used, and then remove it
    if it is present when the module is unloaded.  More complex than v2,
    but correct.
v2: fix up to work when module is removed and added, making the fix
    much simpler.
