From d51e1682faec2ae69632d0b00fed04b59501d2d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 15:41:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: mvpp2: debugfs: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup() commit fe2c9c61f668cde28dac2b188028c5299cedcc1e upstream. When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. Fix this up to be much simpler logic and only create the root debugfs directory once when the driver is first accessed. That resolves the memory leak and makes things more obvious as to what the intent is. Cc: Marcin Wojtas Cc: Russell King Cc: "David S.
