Subject: Re: [PATCH] ib umem: bug: put pid back before return from error path

Hi,

You have two bugs here:
1) When using ODP, ib_umem_release() checks for umem->odp_data != NULL 
   calls ib_umem_odp_release() and returns immediately without calling put_pid().
   This one isn't in the error path so the title doesn't fit.

2) In case the allocation failed, we return in -ENOMEM without calling put_pid().

Can you please resend this with proper fixes line and a better description of what is going on.
