Subject[PATCH 5.18 325/339] mm/huge_memory: Fix xarray node memory leak
Date
From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>

commit 69a37a8ba1b408a1c7616494aa7018e4b3844cbe upstream.

If xas_split_alloc() fails to allocate the necessary nodes to complete the
xarray entry split, it sets the xa_state to -ENOMEM, which xas_nomem()
then interprets as "Please allocate more memory", not as "Please free
any unnecessary memory" (which was the intended outcome). It's confusing
to use xas_nomem() to free memory in this context, so call xas_destroy()
instead.
