Research direction

Start with the reported kernel log entries from Linux 5.4.42-v7l+ and the rpi-update context, then investigate why debugfs creates duplicate entries under alloc and clients for process 1299. Use the Chromium process details and the repeated log messages to determine whether the condition is harmful; done means identifying the cause and documenting or fixing the duplicate-entry behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since the rpi-update installed the 5.4.42 kernel, I have strange entries in my kernel log

The process 1299 belongs to :-
wonko 1299 1.0 4.4 683216 171328 ? Sl Jun01 8:13 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser-v7 --disable-quic --enable-tcp-fast-open --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-args=enable_stagevideo_auto=0 --ppapi-flash-version=32.0.0.371 --enable-pinch

Is this something I should be worried about?
