Subject: Re: [PATCH] afs: Fix memory leak in afs_put_sysnames()
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 13:18:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d8e5aa79-3f83-a5de-5aa8-7bd4a287646e@web.de> (raw)

> sysnames should be freed after refcnt being decreased to zero in
> afs_put_sysnames().

* I suggest to use the wording “reference counter”.

* Where did you notice a “memory leak” here?


> Besides, it would be better set net->sysnames
> to 'NULL' after net->sysnames being released if afs_put_sysnames()
> aims on an afs_sysnames object.

* Would you like to consider an adjustment for this information?

* How do you think about to add an imperative wording?

* Will the tag “Fixes” become relevant for the commit message?

Regards,
Markus
