From c2e406596571659451f4b95e37ddfd5a8ef1d0dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 14:31:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/debug: fix dentry leak in update_sched_domain_debugfs Kuyo reports that the pattern of using debugfs_remove(debugfs_lookup()) leaks a dentry and with a hotplug stress test, the machine eventually runs out of memory. Fix this up by using the newly created debugfs_lookup_and_remove() call instead which properly handles the dentry reference counting logic.
