Subject: mm, swap: fix memory leak in setup_clusters() error path
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:50:07 +0900

Patch series "mm: swap: small fixes and comment cleanups", v2.

This series provides a few small fixes and cleanups for the swap code.

The first patch fixes a memory leak in an error path that was recently
introduced. The subsequent patches include minor logic adjustments and
the removal of redundant comments.


This patch (of 5):

setup_clusters() could leak 'cluster_info' memory if an error occurred on
a path that did not jump to the 'err_free' label.

This patch simplifies the error handling by removing the goto label and
instead calling free_cluster_info() on all error exit paths.

The new logic is safe, as free_cluster_info() already handles NULL pointer
inputs.
