Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ocfs2: fix memory leak in ocfs2_mount_volume()<br />
<br />
There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak:<br />

<br />
This call stack is related to two problems. Firstly, the ocfs2 super uses<br />
"replay_map" to trace online/offline slots, in order to recover offline<br />
slots during recovery and mount. But when ocfs2_truncate_log_init()<br />
returns an error in ocfs2_mount_volume(), the memory of "replay_map" will<br />
not be freed in error handling path. Secondly, the memory of "replay_map"<br />
will not be freed if d_make_root() returns an error in ocfs2_fill_super().<br />
But the memory of "replay_map" will be freed normally when completing<br />
recovery and mount in ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery().<br />
<br />
Fix the first problem by adding error handling path to free "replay_map"<br />
when ocfs2_truncate_log_init() fails. And fix the second problem by<br />
calling ocfs2_free_replay_slots(osb) in the error handling path<br />
"out_dismount". In addition, since ocfs2_free_replay_slots() is static,<br />
it is necessary to remove its static attribute and declare it in header<br />
file.
