Re: [PATCH] ocfs2: Fix handle refcount leak in two exception handling paths

[Joseph Qi]

Hi Chenyuan,
Thanks for reporting this bug.
But the fix looks incorrect. It will commit transaction once more in
normal case.
The simplest way is calling ocfs2_commit_trans() in each of the error
handling path before goto bail.

if (status < 0) {
	ocfs2_commit_trans(osb, handle);
	mlog_errno(status);
	goto bail;
}

Thanks,
Joseph
