Subject: [PATCH v2] vfs/xattr: mm/shmem: kernfs: release simple xattr entry in a right way
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2020 13:16:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200704051608.15043-1-cgxu519@mykernel.net> (raw)
After commit fdc85222d58e ("kernfs: kvmalloc xattr value
instead of kmalloc"), simple xattr entry is allocated with
kvmalloc() instead of kmalloc(), so we should release it
with kvfree() instead of kfree().
