[PATCH 5.10] net: 9p: fix refcount leak in p9_read_work() error handling
From: Alexander Martyniuk
Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 08:19:13 EST
From: Hangyu Hua <hbh25y@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 4ac7573e1f9333073fa8d303acc941c9b7ab7f61 upstream.
p9_req_put need to be called when m->rreq->rc.sdata is NULL to avoid
temporary refcount leak.

[Alexander: this branch doesn't contain 8b11ff098af4 ("9p: Add client parameter
to p9_req_put()"), therefore the parameter is removed from the added line]
