[PATCH 5.0 059/238] vmw_balloon: release lock on error in vmballoon_reset()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Mar 22 2019 - 08:16:10 EST


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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d04071a5d6413b65f17f7bd6e2bdb22e22e4ace7 upstream.

We added some locking to this function but forgot to drop the lock on
these two error paths. This bug would lead to an immediate deadlock.

Fixes: c7b3690fb152 ("vmw_balloon: stats rework")
