Hi Ilya!
Thanks for your response! I don't quite understand your idea and suggestion. The patch is designed to avoid double free memory. I explored the code again and suppose there is another situation for rbd_dev->rbd_client and rbd_dev->spec. Free memory of these pointers is possible only once in rbd_dev_free() function. In do_rbd_add() deallocation memory is only for rbd_opts: drivers/block/rbd.c 7157.

Hi Петрова,

If the rbd_dev_create() fails, for spec it will be freed in rbd_dev_create()->rbd_spec_put() first and then in do_rbd_add() it will call rbd_spec_put() again.

It won't trigger double free but this should generate a warning when the refcount underflow, because the refcount_dec_and_test() will warn and then return false when underflow happens.

The same for rbd_client.

Thanks,

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
Natalia

double free of 'rbd_options' happens:
one is in rbd_dev_free() and another one is in do_rbd_add().

Hi Natalia,

It seems like a similar issue is affecting rbd_dev->rbd_client and rbd_dev->spec.  Unlike rbd_dev->opts, they are ref-counted and I'm guessing that the verification tool doesn't go that deep.

I'd prefer all three to be addressed in the same change, since it's the same error path.  Would you be willing to look into that and post a new revision or should I treat just this patch as a bug report?

Thanks,

                 Ilya
