[PATCH] ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths
From: Yufan Chen
Date: Sat Mar 28 2026 - 05:24:52 EST
From: Yufan Chen <ericterminal@xxxxxxxxx>
o2hb_map_slot_data() allocated hr_tmp_block, hr_slots, hr_slot_data, and pages in stages but returned directly on allocation failures without unwinding previously allocated resources. Under repeated allocation failures this could leak memory and increase pressure toward OOM.
o2hb_region_dev_store() also failed to roll back slot mapping resources when setup aborted, leaving stale allocations around retry attempts.
Introduce o2hb_unmap_slot_data() as a single reverse-order cleanup helper, switch o2hb_map_slot_data() to a centralized goto-based error exit, and call the same rollback path from o2hb_region_dev_store() after stopping a possibly started heartbeat thread. This ensures failed setup fully releases resources and remains safely retryable.
