[PATCH] dm snapshot: fix memory leak

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

 



If wrong option is given then we are returning but we missed releasing
the workqueue and pstore.
Add an error path and use it to correctly release resources on failure.

Fixes: b0d3cc011e53 ("dm snapshot: add new persistent store option to support overflow")
