Subject: blkcg: fix gendisk reference leak in blkg_conf_prep()
From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]>
commit 5f6c2d2b7dbb541c1e922538c49fa04c494ae3d7 upstream.
When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case. Fix it.
