Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 13:30:51 +0200 Message-Id: <1468927851-2186-1-git-send-email-asavkov@redhat.com> Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: When bl_parse_deviceid() fails in bl_alloc_deviceid_node() on blkdev_get_by_*() step we get an pnfs_block_dev struct that is uninitialized except for bdev field which is set to whatever error blkdev_get_by_*() returns. bl_free_device() then tries to call blkdev_put() if bdev is not 0 resulting in a wrong pointer dereference. Fixing this by making sure bdev is not an error code in bl_free_device().
