Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 01/18] xfs: fix the error unwind in xfs_open_devices()
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 16:08:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616-work-super-bdev_holder_global-v2-1-7df6b864028e@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616-work-super-bdev_holder_global-v2-0-7df6b864028e@kernel.org>

Since the rt and log block devices are closed in xfs_free_buftarg() the
buftarg owns the device file. The error unwind does not respect that:
when the log buftarg allocation fails, out_free_rtdev_targ frees the rt
buftarg - releasing rtdev_file - and then falls through to
out_close_rtdev and releases it a second time.

The unwind also leaves mp->m_rtdev_targp and mp->m_ddev_targp pointing
to the freed buftargs. The failed mount continues into
deactivate_locked_super() -> xfs_kill_sb() -> xfs_mount_free(), which
frees them again.

Clear the buftarg pointers once the unwind freed them and clear
rtdev_file once the rt buftarg owns it, so nothing is released twice.

Reachable when a buftarg allocation fails after the data buftarg was
set up: an I/O error in sync_blockdev() or an allocation failure in
xfs_init_buftarg() while mounting with external rt and log devices.

Fixes: 41233576e9a4 ("xfs: close the RT and log block devices in xfs_free_buftarg")
