Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/4] ext4: use ext4_group_desc_free() in ext4_put_super() to save some duplicated code
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 12:31:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402163115.1385749-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402163115.1385749-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Jason Yan <yanaijie@huawei.com>
[ Upstream commit 6ef684988816fdfa29ceff260c97d725a489a942 ]
The only difference here is that ->s_group_desc and ->s_flex_groups share
the same rcu read lock here but it is not necessary. In other places they
do not share the lock at all.
