Subject: [PATCH-V2] fs/cifs: Fix resource leak
Date:   Tue,  4 May 2021 16:38:55 +0100
Message-Id: <20210504153855.26227-1-khaledromdhani216@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

The -EIO error return path is leaking memory allocated
to page. Fix this by moving the allocation block after
the check of cifs_forced_shutdown.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Resource leak")
Fixes: 087f757b0129 ("cifs: add shutdown support")
Signed-off-by: Khaled ROMDHANI <khaledromdhani216@gmail.com>

V2: Add a fix tag and move the allocation to avoid its failure
in the declaration block as suggested by Dan Carpenter.
V1: Invoke the free_dentry_path before the return.
