[PATCH 4.8 101/140] blkcg: Unlock blkcg_pol_mutex only once when cpd == NULL

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 26 2016 - 08:28:29 EST


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

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bbb427e342495df1cda10051d0566388697499c0 upstream.

Unlocking a mutex twice is wrong. Hence modify blkcg_policy_register()
such that blkcg_pol_mutex is unlocked once if cpd == NULL. This patch
avoids that smatch reports the following error:

block/blk-cgroup.c:1378: blkcg_policy_register() error: double unlock 'mutex:&blkcg_pol_mutex'

Fixes: 06b285bd1125 ("blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug")
