[PATCH] btrfs: remove verity Merkle folio from page cache on error
From: Yichong Chen
Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 01:45:44 EST
btrfs_read_merkle_tree_page() allocates a folio and adds it to the
page cache before reading the Merkle tree data from btree items.
If read_key_bytes() fails, the folio is still locked and present in the
page cache. Drop it from the page cache and unlock it before releasing the
allocation reference so a later read can retry instead of finding a locked,
not-uptodate folio.
Fixes: 06ed09351b67 ("btrfs: convert btrfs_read_merkle_tree_page() to use a folio")
