Description David Binderman 2009-07-20 10:56:47 UTC

I just had a look at factory package btrfsprogs-0.18-2.10

For source code file btrfs-progs-0.18/btrfsck.c,
around line 2058 is the source code for the
function check_extents.

I notice a call to malloc for local variable bits,
but no matching calls to free.

This looks like a memory leak to me. Suggest add a call
to free near the end of the routine.

Chris, is this already fixed in a newer version? :)

Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2009-07-20 21:13:29 UTC

as far as I can see, it is not fixed in 0.19 yet.

Comment 3 Chris Mason 2009-07-22 14:29:03 UTC

We do have a patch pending for it, I'll push it out to the git repo this week.  btrfs-progs v0.20 will be coming out shortly, I also have a fix queued for the converter.

Thanks, waiting for 0.20 to resolve this bug.

Comment 5 Dirk Mueller 2009-09-21 11:28:55 UTC

not an exact duplicate, but the 0.20 update should solve both
