Subject: [PATCH] vmw_balloon: release lock on error in vmballoon_reset()
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2019 21:45:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190211184545.GC22106@kadam> (raw)

We added some locking to this function but forgot to drop the lock on
these two error paths.  This bug would lead to an immediate deadlock.

Fixes: c7b3690fb152 ("vmw_balloon: stats rework")
