[PATCH] smb: client: free partially allocated transform folio queue
From: Yichong Chen
Date: Sat Jul 04 2026 - 01:30:54 EST
netfs_alloc_folioq_buffer() may leave a partially allocated folio
queue attached to the caller's buffer pointer when it returns an error.
smb3_init_transform_rq() stores the buffer in the request only after
allocation succeeds, so the common error path cannot free a partial
allocation. Store the buffer pointer before checking the return value so
err_free releases it.
