Ernesto A. Fernández 4d9bcaddac ext2: Fix memory leak when truncate races ext2_get_blocks
Buffer heads referencing indirect blocks may not be released if the file
is truncated at the right time. This happens because ext2_get_branch()
returns NULL when it finds the whole chain of indirect blocks already
set, and when truncate alters the chain this value of NULL is
treated as the address of the last head to be released. Handle this in the
same way as it's done after the got_it label.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
