[PATCH 01/19] bcache: Fix leak of bdev reference

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2017-06-30 10:16:27
Subsystem: bcache (block layer cache), the rest · Maintainers: Coly Li, Kent Overstreet, Linus Torvalds

If blkdev_get_by_path() in register_bcache() fails, we try to lookup the
block device using lookup_bdev() to detect which situation we are in to
properly report error. However we never drop the reference returned to
us from lookup_bdev(). Fix that.
