From 91cbf01178c37086b32148c53e24b04cb77557cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:25:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ubifs: Fix memory leak bug in alloc_ubifs_info() error path" This reverts commit 9163e0184bd7d5f779934d34581843f699ad2ffd. At the point when ubifs_fill_super() runs, we have already a reference to the super block. So upon deactivate_locked_super() c will get free()'ed via ->kill_sb().
