The quilt patch titled Subject: lib/genalloc: fix device leak in of_gen_pool_get() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-genalloc-fix-device-leak-in-of_gen_pool_get.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Subject: lib/genalloc: fix device leak in of_gen_pool_get() Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 10:02:07 +0200
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the genpool platform device in of_gen_pool_get() before returning the pool.
Note that holding a reference to a device does typically not prevent its devres managed resources from being released so there is no point in keeping the reference.
