[added to the 3.18 stable tree] Btrfs: fix transaction handle leak on failure to create hard link

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

 



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.
