kernel/irq/irqdomain.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

Published: 3/27/2025 Last updated: 5/11/2026 Reserved: 8/21/2024

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernel/irq/irqdomain.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup() When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.
