[PATCH 5.1 261/371] bcache: destroy dc->writeback_write_wq if failed to create dc->writeback_thread

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

 



From: Coly Li <colyli@xxxxxxx>

commit f54d801dda14942dbefa00541d10603015b7859c upstream.

Commit 9baf30972b55 ("bcache: fix for gc and write-back race") added a
new work queue dc->writeback_write_wq, but forgot to destroy it in the
error condition when creating dc->writeback_thread failed.

This patch destroys dc->writeback_write_wq if kthread_create() returns
error pointer to dc->writeback_thread, then a memory leak is avoided.
