Subject: Re: [PATCH] ubi: fix memory leak from ubi->fm_anchor

Hi,

The same problem has already been fixed by the patch in the following link early:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/0000000000006d0a820599366088@google.com/T/#medffabe29b65eb5feb387bff84c6ec7ad235c310

I will send a v2 next week.

Regards,
Tao
