6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit db213b0cfe3268d8b1d382b3bcc999c687a2567f ] If the __qcuefi pointer is not set, then in the original code, we would hold onto the lock. That means that if we tried to set it later, then it would cause a deadlock. Drop the lock on the error path. That's what all the callers are expecting.
