CVE-2026-31434

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info

When create_space_info_sub_group() allocates elements of
space_info->sub_group[], kobject_init_and_add() is called for each
element via btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type(). However, when
check_removing_space_info() frees these elements, it does not call
btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() on them. As a result, kobject_put() is
not called and the associated kobj->name objects are leaked.

This memory leak is reproduced by running the blktests test case
zbd/009 on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK. The kmemleak
feature reports the following error:

To avoid the leak, call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() instead of
kfree() for the elements.
