Subject: [PATCH] fsck: fix leak when traversing trees

From: Eric Wong <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 07:43:51 +0000

While fsck_walk/fsck_walk_tree/parse_tree populates "struct tree"
idempotently, it is still up to the fsck_walk caller to call
free_tree_buffer.

Fixes: ad2db4030e42890e ("fsck: remove redundant parse_tree() invocation")

 These APIs could probably be made to be less error-prone,
 but at least this stops my little machine from OOM-ing.
