[PATCH] btrfs: Fix memory leak on multiple mounts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently if a mounted-btrfs instance is mounted for the 2nd time
without first unmounting the first instance then we hit a memory leak
in btrfs_mount_root due to the fs_info of the acquired superblock is
different than the newly allocated fs info. Fix this by specifically
checking if the fs_info instance of the newly acquired superblock is
the same as ours and free it if not.

Reproducer:

mount /dev/vdc /media/scratch
mount /dev/vdc /media/scratch2 <- memory leak hit
