Subject[PATCH] Fixing double brelse'ing bh allocated in gfs2_meta_read when EIO occurs
From
This patch fixes buffer_head double free in following code path:

gfs2_block_map
=> gfs2_meta_inode_buffer
=> gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
=> gfs2_meta_read
=> release_metapath


gfs2_block_map calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer with &mp.mp_bh[0]
as an argument. mp.mp_bh are filled with zero at the beginning
of gfs2_block_map.

If gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns non-zero value, gfs2_block_map
calls release_metapath to free buffers chained to mp.mp_bh.
release_metapath checks each slot of mp.mp_bh[i] and
free(with brelse) unless the slot is filled with NULL.


&mp.mp_bh[0] passed to gfs2_meta_inode_buffer is filled at
gfs2_meta_read. gfs2_meta_read is filled a buffer allocated with
gfs2_getbuf even if EIO occurs. When EIO occurs, the allocated buffer
is brelse'ed though the pointer(wrong poiner) points the brelse'ed is
passed back to caller via an argument bhp.

gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, the caller also pass the wrong pointer
to its caller with EIO. Finally gfs2_block_map gets both EIO and
&mp.mp_bh[0] filled with the wrong pointer. release_metapath
calls brelse again on the wrong pointer.
