Hi All,
There is a kernel memory leak observed when the proc file
/proc/fs/fscache/stats is read.
The reason is that in fscache_stats_open, single_open is called and respective
release function is not called during release.
Hence fix with correct release function - single_release. The patch is as below
diff -uprN -X linux-3.9-rc8-vanilla/Documentation/dontdiff
linux-3.9-rc8-vanilla/fs/fscache/stats.c linux-3.9-rc8.mod/fs/fscache/stats.c
