From ec0a7500d8eace5b4f305fa0c594dd148f0e8d29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baokun Li Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:08:36 +0800 Subject: ext4: fix iloc.bh leak in ext4_fc_replay_inode() error paths During code review, Joseph found that ext4_fc_replay_inode() calls ext4_get_fc_inode_loc() to get the inode location, which holds a reference to iloc.bh that must be released via brelse(). However, several error paths jump to the 'out' label without releasing iloc.bh: - ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() failure - sync_dirty_buffer() failure - ext4_mark_inode_used() failure - ext4_iget() failure Fix this by introducing an 'out_brelse' label placed just before the existing 'out' label to ensure iloc.bh is always released. Additionally, make ext4_fc_replay_inode() propagate errors properly instead of always returning 0.
