[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 132/155] dm btree: fix leak of bufio-backed block in btree_split_beneath error path

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Thu Nov 12 2015 - 18:28:58 EST


3.19.8-ckt10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4dcb8b57df3593dcb20481d9d6cf79d1dc1534be upstream.

btree_split_beneath()'s error path had an outstanding FIXME that speaks
directly to the potential for _not_ cleaning up a previously allocated
bufio-backed block.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().
