Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> btrfs: fix reservation leak in some error paths when inserting inline extent<br /> <br /> If we fail to allocate a path or join a transaction, we return from<br /> __cow_file_range_inline() without freeing the reserved qgroup data,<br /> resulting in a leak. Fix this by ensuring we call btrfs_qgroup_free_data()<br /> in such cases.
