From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 271dba4521aed0c37c063548f876b49f5cd64b2e ] If we failed to create a hard link we were not always releasing the the transaction handle we got before, resulting in a memory leak and preventing any other tasks from being able to commit the current transaction. Fix this by always releasing our transaction handle.
