From 8097c43bcbec56fbd0788d99e1e236c0e0d4013f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 08:39:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "kernfs: fix memleak in kernel_ops_readdir()" This reverts commit cc798c83898ea0a77fcaa1a92afda35c3c3ded74. Tony writes: Somehow this causes a regression in Linux next for me where I'm seeing lots of sysfs entries now missing under /sys/bus/platform/devices. For example, I now only see one .serial entry show up in sysfs. Things work again if I revert commit cc798c83898e ("kernfs: fix memleak inkernel_ops_readdir()"). Any ideas why that would be? Tejun says: Ugh, you're right. It can get double-put cuz ctx->pos is put by release too. So reverting it for now.
