How do you think about to try another software adjustment out in such a design direction? Can it make sense to combine changes together with the update step “ubifs: dent: Fix some potential memory leaks while iterating entries” into a single patch? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20200601091037.3794172-2-chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1250456/ Regards, Markus
