From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Btrfs_alloc_path should be matched with btrfs_free_path in error-handling code. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression struct btrfs_path * x; expression ra,rb; position p1,p2; @@ x = btrfs_alloc_path@p1(...) ... when != btrfs_free_path(x,...) when != if (...) { ... btrfs_free_path(x,...) ...} when != x = ra if(...) { ... when != x = rb when forall when != btrfs_free_path(x,...) \(return <+...x...+>; \| return@p2...; \) } @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; @@ cocci.print_main("alloc",p1) cocci.print_secs("return",p2) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> --- fs/btrfs/inode.c | 1 + fs/btrfs/super.c | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/inode.c b/fs/btrfs/inode.c index 7cd8ab0..079a8df 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/inode.c @@ -7315,6 +7315,7 @@ static int btrfs_symlink(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, datasize); if (err) { drop_inode = 1; + btrfs_free_path(path); goto out_unlock; } leaf = path->nodes[0]; diff --git a/fs/btrfs/super.c b/fs/btrfs/super.c index be4ffa1..6ee0d04 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/super.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/super.c @@ -507,8 +507,10 @@ static struct dentry *get_default_root(struct super_block *sb, */ dir_id = btrfs_super_root_dir(&root->fs_info->super_copy); di = btrfs_lookup_dir_item(NULL, root, path, dir_id, "default", 7, 0); - if (IS_ERR(di)) + if (IS_ERR(di)) { + btrfs_free_path(path); return ERR_CAST(di); + } if (!di) { /* * Ok the default dir item isn''t there.
