Ok. Recently, I started to automatize the recipients of the emails with a script that takes the output of get_maintainer.pl and takes only the maintainer, supporter and reviewer lines. Maybe I should add also blamed_fixes.

As the ramfs-based tmpfs uses ramfs_init_fs_context() for the
init_fs_context method, which allocates fc->s_fs_info, use ramfs_kill_sb()
to free it and avoid a memory leak.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v5.4.x
Fixes: f32356261d44 ("vfs: Convert ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs, rootfs to use the new mount API")

As I mentioned in the other thread, the correct Fixes tag is:

Fixes: c3b1b1cbf002 ("ramfs: add support for "mode=" mount option")

of course, if it can be modified at this stage.

Thanks

Roberto
