Subject: [PATCH 05/12] fuse2fs: free global_fs after a failed ext2fs_close call
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:39:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <175797569709.245695.7389555784743357.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175797569564.245695.4628729304068635201.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

If ext2fs_close fails for any reason, it won't free the ext2_filsys
object or any of the other things that hang off of it, like the io
managers and whatnot.  Right now this results in a memory leak of
global_fs, which is mostly benign because we're nearly to the end of
main() anyway.

However, a future patch will move the ext2fs_close call to op_destroy
prior to introducing fuseblk support, which means that we won't close
the (O_EXCL) block device before returning from umount, which will cause
problems with fstests and the user expectation that block devices are
closed when umount(8) returns.

Therefore, free the context after a failed close.
