[BUG] If btrfs_alloc_page_array() fail to allocate all pages but part of the slots, then the partially allocated pages would be leaked in function btrfs_submit_compressed_read(). [CAUSE] As explicitly stated, if btrfs_alloc_page_array() returned -ENOMEM, caller is responsible to free the partially allocated pages. For the existing call sites, most of them are fine: - btrfs_raid_bio::stripe_pages Handled by free_raid_bio(). - extent_buffer::pages[] Handled btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages(). - scrub_stripe::pages[] Handled by release_scrub_stripe(). But there is one exception in btrfs_submit_compressed_read(), if btrfs_alloc_page_array() failed, we didn't cleanup the array and freed the array pointer directly. Initially there is still the error handling in commitdd137dd1f2("btrfs: factor out allocating an array of pages"), but later in commit544fe4a903("btrfs: embed a btrfs_bio into struct compressed_bio"), the error handling is removed, leading to the possible memory leak. [FIX] This patch would add back the error handling first, then to prevent such situation from happening again, also Make btrfs_alloc_page_array() to free the allocated pages as a extra safety net, then we don't need to add the error handling to btrfs_submit_compressed_read().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
