Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: qibfs: fix dentry leak simple_recursive_removal() drops the pinning references to all positives in subtree. For the cases when its argument has been kept alive by the pinning alone that&#39;s exactly the right thing to do, but here the argument comes from dcache lookup, that needs to be balanced by explicit dput().
