Subject: md/raid1: r1buf_pool_alloc: free allocate pages when subsequent allocation fails.
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
commit da1aab3dca9aa88ae34ca392470b8943159e25fe upstream.
When performing a user-request check/repair (MD_RECOVERY_REQUEST is set)
on a raid1, we allocate multiple bios each with their own set of pages.
If the page allocations for one bio fails, we currently do *not* free
the pages allocated for the previous bios, nor do we free the bio itself.
This patch frees all the already-allocate pages, and makes sure that
all the bios are freed as well.
This bug can cause a memory leak which can ultimately OOM a machine.
It was introduced in 3.10-rc1.
