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.
