The root cause was traced to an error handing path in journal_init_common()
when malloc memory failed in register_shrinker(). The checksum driver is
used to reference to checksum algorithm via cryptoapi and the user should
release the memory when the driver is no longer needed or the journal
initialization failed.
Fix it by calling crypto_free_shash() on the "err_cleanup" error handing
path in journal_init_common().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
