While debugging a patch that I wrote I was hitting use-after-free panics
when accessing block groups on unmount. This turned out to be because
in the nocow case if we bail out of doing the nocow for whatever reason
we need to call btrfs_dec_nocow_writers() if we called the inc. This
puts our block group, but a few error cases does
if (nocow) {
btrfs_dec_nocow_writers();
goto error;
}
unfortunately, error is
error:
if (nocow)
btrfs_dec_nocow_writers();
so we get a double put on our block group. Fix this by dropping the
error cases calling of btrfs_dec_nocow_writers(), as it's handled at the
error label now.
Fixes: 762bf09893b4 ("btrfs: improve error handling in run_delalloc_nocow")

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.
