[PATCH] md/raid1: fix memory leak in raid1_run() if no active rdev

From: Zheng Qixing
Date: Fri Feb 14 2025 - 21:05:15 EST


From: Zheng Qixing <zhengqixing@xxxxxxxxxx>

When `raid1_set_limits()` fails or when the array has no active
`rdev`, the allocated memory for `conf` is not properly freed.

Add raid1_free() call to properly free the conf in error path.

Fixes: 799af947ed13 ("md/raid1: don't free conf on raid0_run failure")
