From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> Review fs/fs-writeback.c bdi_split_work_to_wbs The CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK version contains this line base_work->auto_free = 0; Which seems like a strange place to set auto_free as it is not where the rest of base_work is initialized. In the default version of bdi_split_work_to_wbs, if a successful malloc happens, base_work is copied and auto_free is set to 1, else the base_work is copied to another local valarible and its auto_free is set to 0. So move the clearing of auto_free to the initialization of the local base_work structures.
