[PATCH 4.1 078/123] blkcg: fix gendisk reference leak in blkg_conf_prep()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Aug 08 2015 - 18:20:45 EST


4.1-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.
