If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 900cbf938ced6cb58fe20abf535c5c7a07e2fca4 Author: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 9 11:00:39 2022 +0800 ceph: avoid putting the realm twice when decoding snaps fails [ Upstream commit 51884d153f7ec85e18d607b2467820a90e0f4359 ] When decoding the snaps fails it maybe leaving the 'first_realm' and 'realm' pointing to the same snaprealm memory. And then it'll put it twice and could cause random use-after-free, BUG_ON, etc issues.
