From: Riccardo Mancini <rickyman7@gmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.54 commit 306411a8bf75568380bf00f37eb535c7c09eef0d bugzilla: 175586 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DVDU Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit dedeb4be203b382ba7245d13079bc3b0f6d40c65 ] ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of: # perf test "31: Lookup mmap thread". The leak is caused by a refcounted variable being replaced without dropping the refcount. This patch makes sure that the refcnt of nsinfo is decreased whenever a refcounted variable is replaced with a new value.
