xfs: destroy seen inode bitmap when we fail to add a dirpath
Published Sep 25, 2026
No CVSS score
EPSS 0.20%
Description
LOLLM observes a memory leak in xchk_dirtree_create_path if we create the directory path object but appending the name to the path fails. When this happens, we don't tear down the (empty) seen inode bitmap. This is a pretty trivial error, but let's not leave logic bombs.
Do the same for a similar bug in xrep_dirtree_create_adoption_path.
