Subject: mm: kvfree the swap cluster info if the swap file is unsatisfactory
From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8606a1a94da5c4e49c0fb28af62d2e75c6747716 upstream.
If initializing a small swap file fails because the swap file has a
problem (holes, etc.) then we need to free the cluster info as part of
cleanup. Unfortunately a previous patch changed the code to use kvzalloc
but did not change all the vfree calls to use kvfree.
Found by running generic/357 from xfstests.
