Subject: [PATCH v2 5/9] netfs: Fix subreq ref leak
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 14:20:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825132045.1000787-6-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825132045.1000787-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix a subrequest ref leak in netfs_unbuffered_write() in the event that
subreq->io_iter ends up zero length during preparation.

Fixes: a0b4c7a49137e ("netfs: Fix unbuffered/DIO writes to dispatch subrequests in strict sequence")
