From 71601e2b33dad9acb8d7844f7321f90ed9d1bce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2006 10:26:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] debugfs inode leak Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case. These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow such coding in CodingStyle.
