[PATCH v7 06/29] afs: Fix double-unmap of directory block

From: David Howells

Date: Wed Jul 22 2026 - 09:06:01 EST


Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to use a cleanup function to unmap the block
pointed to by afs_dir_iter::block if it's left pointing to something rather
than manually kunmapping the blocks. Manually kunmapping without clearing
iter.blocks can result in a double-kunmap if afs_dir_find_block() is called
twice in a row (which would be the case if the block being modified is not
first in the hash chain).

Fixes: a5b5beebcf96 ("afs: Use the contained hashtable to search a directory")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260716103030.3065561-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
