From 640946f20390e492694f9d7470656f2262385951 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 19:22:25 -0400 Subject: dentry leak in simple_fill_super() failure exit d_genocide() does _not_ evict dentries; it just removes extra ref pinning each of those. Normally it's followed by shrinking the tree (it's done just before generic_shutdown_super() by kill_litter_super()), but in case of simple_fill_super() nothing of that kind will follow. Just do shrink_dcache_parent() manually.
