6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Antoine Viallon <antoine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3b7d93db450e9d8ead80d75e2a303248f1528c35 upstream. We now free the temporary target path substring allocation on every possible branch, instead of omitting the default branch. In some cases, a memory leak occured, which could rapidly crash the system (depending on how many file accesses were attempted). This was detected in production because it caused a continuous memory growth, eventually triggering kernel OOM and completely hard-locking the kernel.
