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

 



From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 5f6c2d2b7dbb541c1e922538c49fa04c494ae3d7 ]

When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a
whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it
forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case.  Fix it.
