[PATCH v2 1/1] mm: fix vma->anon_name memory leak for anonymous shmem VMAs

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 19:03:19 EST


free_anon_vma_name() is missing a check for anonymous shmem VMA which
leads to a memory leak due to refcount not being dropped. Fix this by
calling anon_vma_name_put() unconditionally. It will free vma->anon_name
whenever it's non-NULL.
