Subject[34-longterm 045/179] UBIFS: fix memory leak on error path
Date
From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 812eb258311f89bcd664a34a620f249d54a2cd83 upstream.

UBIFS leaks memory on error path in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' in case of write
failure because it forgets to free the 'struct ubifs_dent_node *dent' object.
Although the object is small, the alignment can make it large - e.g., 2KiB
if the min. I/O unit is 2KiB.
