    ubifs: Fix memleak when insert_old_idx() failed · b5fda08e
    Zhihao Cheng authored
    Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:
    
    dirty_cow_znode
      zn = copy_znode(c, znode);
      err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs);
      if (unlikely(err))
         return ERR_PTR(err);   // No one refers to zn.
    
    Fetch a reproducer in [Link].
    
    Function copy_znode() is split into 2 parts: resource allocation
    and znode replacement, insert_old_idx() is split in similar way,
    so resource cleanup could be done in error handling path without
    corrupting metadata(mem & disk).
    It's okay that old index inserting is put behind of add_idx_dirt(),
    old index is used in layout_leb_in_gaps(), so the two processes do
    not depend on each other.
