Nice idea to put the comment in here. Thanks Joonsoo. It seems you obey "It must fix a real bug that bothers people" on Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt but it's a really obvious bug and hard to get a report from people because limited user and hard to detect small such small memory leak. In my experince, Andrew perfered stable marking for such a obvious problem but simple fix like this but not sure so let's pass the decision to him and will learn a lesson from him and will follow the decision from now on.
