[f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs: fix ifolio leak in f2fs_get_new_data_folio

Message-ID <[email protected]>
f2fs_get_new_data_folio() documents that ifolio is only set by
make_empty_dir(), and that ifolio should be released by this function on
any error.

The allocation failure path already follows this rule, but the
f2fs_reserve_block() failure path only drops the newly grabbed folio and
returns the error.  When make_empty_dir() passes a non-NULL ifolio, an
early f2fs_reserve_block() failure can leave the extra inode folio
reference held by the caller.

Release ifolio on this error path if f2fs_reserve_block() has not already
cleared dn.inode_folio.

Changes since v1:
- Check dn.inode_folio before releasing ifolio to avoid a double put when
  f2fs_reserve_block() has already cleared the dnode.
