[PATCH] xfs: release dquot buffer after dqflush failure

From: Yingjie Gao

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 09:17:57 EST


xfs_qm_dqpurge() gets a locked buffer from xfs_dquot_use_attached_buf().
If xfs_qm_dqflush() fails, the error path skips xfs_buf_relse() and then
calls xfs_dquot_detach_buf(), which tries to lock the same buffer again.

Release the buffer after xfs_qm_dqflush() returns so the error path drops
the caller hold and unlocks the buffer before the dquot is detached,
matching the other dqflush callers.

Fixes: a40fe30868ba ("xfs: separate dquot buffer reads from xfs_dqflush")
