From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 122deabfe1428bffe95e2bf364ff8a5059bdf089 ] Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode: dirty_cow_znode zn = copy_znode(c, znode); err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs); if (unlikely(err)) return ERR_PTR(err); // No one refers to zn. Fix it by adding copied znode back to tnc, then it will be freed by ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree() while closing tnc. Fetch a reproducer in [Link].
