Subject: [PATCH] xfs_repair: fix record_allocation list manipulation
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:38:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AB300CC.5020707@sandeen.net> (raw)

clang found this one too as a "Dead assignment"

Unless my pointer-fu is totally messed up, this function
was never actually updating the list head.

This would mean that the later free_allocations() calls in
incore_ext_teardown() and free_rt_dup_extent_tree() don't
actually free more than one item, and therefore leak memory.
