Subject: [PATCH 2/7] blkcg: use blkg_free() in blkcg_init_queue() failure path
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 11:51:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436284293-4666-3-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1436284293-4666-1-git-send-email-tj-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>
When blkcg_init_queue() fails midway after creating a new blkg, it
performs kfree() directly; however, this doesn't free the policy data
areas. Make it use blkg_free() instead. In turn, blkg_free() is
updated to handle root request_list special case.
While this fixes a possible memory leak, it's on an unlikely failure
path of an already cold path and the size leaked per occurrence is
miniscule too. I don't think it needs to be tagged for -stable.
