5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bragatheswaran Manickavel <bragathemanick0908@xxxxxxxxx> commit f91192cd68591c6b037da345bc9fcd5e50540358 upstream. In btrfs_ref_tree_mod(), when !parent 're' was allocated through kmalloc(). In the following code, if an error occurs, the execution will be redirected to 'out' or 'out_unlock' and the function will be exited. However, on some of the paths, 're' are not deallocated and may lead to memory leaks. For example: lookup_block_entry() for 'be' returns NULL, the out label will be invoked. During that flow ref and 'ra' are freed but not 're', which can potentially lead to a memory leak.
