Because ceph_init_fs_context() will never be invoced in case we get a
mount error, destroy_mount_options() won't be releasing fscrypt resources
with fscrypt_free_dummy_policy().  This will result in a memory leak.  Add
an invocation to this function in the mount error path.

Hi Luis,

BTW, any reason the following code won't be triggered ?

deactivate_locked_super(sb);

    --> fs->kill_sb(s);

          --> ceph_kill_sb()

                --> kill_anon_super()

                      --> generic_shutdown_super()

                            --> sop->put_super()

                                  --> ceph_put_super()

                                        --> ceph_fscrypt_free_dummy_policy()

                                             --> fscrypt_free_dummy_policy(

Here's what I'm seeing here:

    sys_mount->path_mount->do_new_mount->vfs_get_tree->ceph_get_tree

ceph_get_tree() fails due to ceph_real_mount() returning an error.  My
understanding is that that, since fc->root is never set, that code path
will never be triggered.  Does that make sense?
Okay, you are right!

How about fixing it in ceph_real_mount() instead ?
Sure, I can send a patch for doing that instead.  However, my opinion is
that it makes more sense to do it, mostly because ceph_get_tree() is
already doing clean-up work on the error path (ceph_mdsc_close_sessions()
and deactivate_locked_super()).

But let me know if you really prefer doing in ceph_read_mount() and I'll
send v2.

IMO it'd better to do this in ceph_real_mount(), which will make the code to be easier to read.

Thanks!

An easy way to reproduce is by running fstest ceph/005 with the
'test_dummy_encryption' option.  (I'll probably need to send a patch to
disable this test when this option is present.)
Anyway this should be fixed in kceph.
Yes, agreed.

Cheers,
