Subject[PATCH v2] mm/damon/dbgfs: fix memory leak when using
Date
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

debugfs_lookup()
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 14:56:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220902125631.128329-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. Fix this up by properly
calling dput().
