This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PM: EM: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup() to the 6.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pm-em-fix-memory-leak-with-using-debugfs_lookup.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9edcd0320b8704c698cd61d20adf0e6f08db127d Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 2 16:15:15 2023 +0100 PM: EM: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup() [ Upstream commit a0e8c13ccd6a9a636d27353da62c2410c4eca337 ] When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
