This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: fix block group leak when removing fails to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-fix-block-group-leak-when-removing-fails.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e64eb6f9236c92956e9b13d4985f4aa005886d7c Author: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 21 10:54:11 2020 +0800 btrfs: fix block group leak when removing fails commit f6033c5e333238f299c3ae03fac8cc1365b23b77 upstream. btrfs_remove_block_group() invokes btrfs_lookup_block_group(), which returns a local reference of the block group that contains the given bytenr to "block_group" with increased refcount. When btrfs_remove_block_group() returns, "block_group" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in several exception handling paths of btrfs_remove_block_group(). When those error scenarios occur such as btrfs_alloc_path() returns NULL, the function forgets to decrease its refcnt increased by btrfs_lookup_block_group() and will cause a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by jumping to "out_put_group" label and calling btrfs_put_block_group() when those error scenarios occur.
