Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ntfs: Fix possible deadlock
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:09:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226160906.7175-4-ethantidmore06@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226160906.7175-1-ethantidmore06@gmail.com>
In the error path for ntfs_attr_map_whole_runlist() the lock is not
released.
Add release for lock.
Detected by Smatch:
fs/ntfs/attrib.c:5197 ntfs_non_resident_attr_collapse_range() warn:
inconsistent returns '&ni->runlist.lock'.
Fixes: 495e90fa33482 ("ntfs: update attrib operations")
