[PATCH 5/5] mm/backing-dev.c: fix error path in wb_init()

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Tue Feb 09 2016 - 15:11:43 EST


We need to use post-decrement to get percpu_counter_destroy() called
on &wb->stat[0]. Moreover, the pre-decremebt would cause infinite
out-of-bounds accesses if the setup code failed at i==0.
