Subject: [PATCH] block: free q->flush_rq in blk_init_allocated_queue error paths
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:03:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140320210358.GA14059@kernel.dk> (raw)

Hi Linus,

Turns out there was a potential leak in the error path of the flush
fixup from the last pull, which Dave Jones spotted.

Can you apply this to your current tree before tagging 3.14? Thanks!

From: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

Commit 7982e90c3a ("block: fix q->flush_rq NULL pointer crash on
dm-mpath flush") moved an allocation to blk_init_allocated_queue(),
but neglected to free that allocation on the error paths that
follow.
