[PATCH] ufs: Fix memory leak in the unlink path
From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Jul 05 2018 - 11:03:34 EST
While running generic xfstests against ufs (ufstype=44bsd), a lot of memory
leaks were reported by kmemleak (in particular with generic/074). It is
easily reproducible by simply doing:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1024 count=1024
unlink test
which will result in having kmemleak reporting:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800623f8980 (size 96):
comm "unlink", pid 172, jiffies 4294905029 (age 60.804s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
e0 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
50 51 df 59 00 88 ff ff a8 50 df 59 00 88 ff ff PQ.Y.....P.Y....

Fix this by kfree'ing the ufs_buffer_head allocated through ubh_bread in
free_full_branch. While there, drop the NULL check as this is already done
in bforget.
