Subject: [Cluster-devel] [PATCH] gfs2: fix file_system_type leak on gfs2meta mount
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:58:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080225175836.GA27910@lst.de> (raw)


get_gfs2_sb does a get_fs_type without doing a put_filesystem and
thus leaking a file_system_type reference everytime it's called.

Just use gfs2_fs_type directly instead of doing the lookup and thus
fix the problem.
