From d4727e485a1dcb43ca0bca62d7d35648a8441c74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Borisov Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 13:50:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Fix flush bio leak [ Upstream commit beed9263f4000c48a5c48912f26576f6fa091181 ] Commit e0ae99941423 ("btrfs: preallocate device flush bio") reworked the way the flush bio is allocated and used. Concretely it allocates the bio in __alloc_device and then re-uses it multiple times with a very simple endio routine that just calls complete() without consuming a reference. Allocated bios by default come with a ref count of 1, which is then consumed by the endio routine (or not, in which case they should be bio_put by the caller). The way the impleementation works now is that the flush bio has a refcount of 2 and we only ever bio_put it once, leaving it to hang indefinitely. Fix this by removing the extra bio_get in __alloc_device.
