[PATCH 2/5] lustre: Unsafe error handling around ll_splice_alias

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Swapnil Pimpale <spimpale@xxxxxxx>

Callers of ll_splice_alias() should not assign the returned pointer to
the dentry since it can be an err pointer. Fixed the above bug using a
temporary dentry pointer. This temporary pointer is assigned to dentry
only if ll_splice_alias has not returned an err pointer.
