Subject: btrfs: fix transaction leak in btrfs_recover_relocation
From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1402d17dfd9657be0da8458b2079d03c2d61c86a upstream.
btrfs_recover_relocation() invokes btrfs_join_transaction(), which joins
a btrfs_trans_handle object into transactions and returns a reference of
it with increased refcount to "trans".
When btrfs_recover_relocation() returns, "trans" becomes invalid, so the
refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
btrfs_recover_relocation(). When read_fs_root() failed, the refcnt
increased by btrfs_join_transaction() is not decreased, causing a refcnt
leak.
Fix this issue by calling btrfs_end_transaction() on this error path
when read_fs_root() failed.
