Seth, Christoph,

I've just found another wrong pointers freeing. The following patch
should fix it.



Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: Fix kfree of wrong pointers in
hfsplus_read_wrapper() error path

Commit 6596528 (hfsplus: ensure bio requests are not smaller than
the hardware sectors) changed the pointers used for volume header
allocations but failed to change the pointer freed in the error
path of hfsplus_read_wrapper(). This patch fixes the problem.
