The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: fix vma->anon_name memory leak for anonymous shmem VMAs has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-fix-vma-anon_name-memory-leak-for-anonymous-shmem-vmas.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: fix vma->anon_name memory leak for anonymous shmem VMAs Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2023 16:02:40 -0800 free_anon_vma_name() is missing a check for anonymous shmem VMA which leads to a memory leak due to refcount not being dropped. Fix this by calling anon_vma_name_put() unconditionally. It will free vma->anon_name whenever it's non-NULL.
