BTW, there is one remaining (rare) leak in the allocation path. The following patch serves to fix it but I'm not sure if there is a more elegant way to address this. An alternative would be to check if the page is already allocated (before allocating the page in scsi_setup_discard_cmnd)? Please advise, thanks. Mike From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: scsi: address leak in the error path of discard page allocation Be sure to free the discard page if scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd fails. E.g. Returning BLKPREP_DEFER from scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd will not cause the request to be processed by sd_unprep_fn before the request is retried (preparation included).
