From 66da0e1f9034140ae2f571ef96e254a25083906c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilija Hadzic Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:11:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] devpts: plug the memory leak in kill_sb When devpts is unmounted, there may be a no-longer-used IDR tree hanging off the superblock we are about to kill. This needs to be cleaned up before destroying the SB. The leak is usually not a big deal because unmounting devpts is typically done when shutting down the whole machine. However, shutting down an LXC container instead of a physical machine exposes the problem (the garbage is detectable with kmemleak).
