[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 20/60] blkcg: fix gendisk reference leak in blkg_conf_prep()

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Sep 01 2015 - 21:09:21 EST


3.13.11-ckt26 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5f6c2d2b7dbb541c1e922538c49fa04c494ae3d7 upstream.

When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a
whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it
forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case. Fix it.
