Hi Jan, thanks for your suggestion. There are no other problems, and the
code you suggest can fix this bh references leak correctly.
But now we put the release code everywhere in ext4_ind_remove_space(), I
think it's fragile and hard to read & maintain, so I not only want to fix
this problem but also do some cleanup in this patch(maybe split to a single
patch will be better). Suggestions?
Thanks,
Yi.
