[PATCH v2] xfs: fix memory leak on error in xfs_alloc_zone_info()
Posted by Wilfred Mallawa 2 months ago

Currently, the 0th index of the zi_used_bucket_bitmap array is not freed
on error due to the pre-decrement then evaluate semantic of the while
loop used in xfs_alloc_zone_info(). Fix it by allowing for the i == 0
case to be covered.
