When we fail to add the request to the I/O queue, we currently leave it to the caller to free the failed request. However since some of the requests that fail are actually created by nfs_pageio_add_request() itself, and are not passed back the caller, this leads to a leakage issue, which can again cause page locks to leak. This commit addresses the leakage by freeing the created requests on error, using desc->pg_completion_ops->error_cleanup() Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com> Fixes:a7d42ddb30("nfs: add mirroring support to pgio layer") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.0:c18b96a1b8: nfs: clean up rest of reqs Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.0:d600ad1f2b: NFS41: pop some layoutget Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.0+
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.
