This patch doesn't work. I hit kernel oops since now this patch frees
a discard page twice.

If scsi_init_io hits BLKPREP_DEFER (e.g. due to scsi_init_sgtable),
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd calls scsi_unprep_request. So sd_unprep_fn
frees a page. Then, scsi_setup_discard_cmnd frees the same page again.


I talked to James on irc, he prefers to strictly apply the rule that
we should unprep on only the requests that got prepped.

So we need to remove scsi_unprep_request in scsi_init_io error
path. The following patch solves all the issues (hopefully).

Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fix discard page leak

We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions
(e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd).

We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of
scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy.

Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that
wasn't prepped.

Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is
enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet.

scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with
the above rule.
