In btrfs_ref_tree_mod(), when !parent 're' was allocated through kmalloc(). In the following code, if an error occurs, the execution will be redirected to 'out' or 'out_unlock' and the function will be exited. However, on some of the paths, 're' are not deallocated and may lead to memory leaks. For example: lookup_block_entry() for 'be' returns NULL, the out label will be invoked. During that flow ref and 'ra' are freed but not 're', which can potentially lead to a memory leak.

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.
