From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com> commit d60ba8de1164e1b42e296ff270c622a070ef8fe7 upstream. clang static analysis flags this error fs/btrfs/ref-verify.c:290:3: warning: Potential leak of memory pointed to by 're' [unix.Malloc] kfree(be); ^~~~~ The problem is in this block of code: if (root_objectid) { struct root_entry *exist_re; exist_re = insert_root_entry(&exist->roots, re); if (exist_re) kfree(re); } There is no 'else' block freeing when root_objectid is 0. Add the missing kfree to the else branch.
