Hi everyone,
I'm running the btrfs for-next branch, along with the encryption patch set
through my AI review prompts:
https://github.com/masoncl/review-prompts
I'm working on some btrfs specific instructions, but hopefully these reviews
are already useful. I've kept the headers to make it easier to double check
that I'm actually replying to the right email, but please let me know if any
parts of this are incorrect:

btrfs: start using fscrypt hooks
This commit adds fscrypt support to btrfs by implementing fscrypt hooks
in various inode operations including create, open, rename, and symlink
operations.

When fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() fails, are the ACLs leaked?
Looking earlier in the function, posix_acl_create() allocates args->acl
and args->default_acl. When fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() fails, the
error path frees the filename but doesn't release these ACLs.
Callers like btrfs_symlink() skip btrfs_new_inode_args_destroy() on
error, so the ACLs would never be released. Should this add
posix_acl_release() calls before returning?

Does this code leak disk_link.name when creating encrypted symlinks?
According to fscrypt.h, when fscrypt_encrypt_symlink() is called,
'one will be kmalloc()'ed and the filesystem will be responsible
for freeing it'. However, btrfs_symlink() never frees disk_link.name
in any exit path, whether success or failure.
Looking at ext4/namei.c:3443-3444, it correctly handles this:
if (disk_link.name != (unsigned char *)symname)
kfree(disk_link.name);
Should similar cleanup be added here?
