3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 1f2c6651f69c14d0d3a9cfbda44ea101b02160ba upstream. Currently we leak parent_spec and trigger a "parent reference underflow" warning if rbd_dev_create() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails. The problem is we take the !parent out_err branch and that only drops refcounts; parent_spec that would've been freed had we called rbd_dev_unparent() remains and triggers rbd_warn() in rbd_dev_parent_put() - at that point we have parent_spec != NULL and parent_ref == 0, so counter ends up being -1 after the decrement. Redo rbd_dev_probe_parent() to fix this.
