[PATCH 01/12] bcache: Fix leak of bdev reference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

If blkdev_get_by_path() in register_bcache() fails, we try to lookup the
block device using lookup_bdev() to detect which situation we are in to
properly report error. However we never drop the reference returned to
us from lookup_bdev(). Fix that.
