    ext4: call ext4_ext_drop_refs() from ext4_ext_find_extent() · 523f431c
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    In nearly all of the calls to ext4_ext_find_extent() where the caller
    is trying to recycle the path object, ext4_ext_drop_refs() gets called
    to release the buffer heads before the path object gets overwritten.
    To simplify things for the callers, and to avoid the possibility of a
    memory leak, make ext4_ext_find_extent() responsible for dropping the
    buffers.
