[PATCH] ext4: initialize err_blk before calling __ext4_get_inode_loc

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

 



From: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@xxxxxxxxx>

It is not guaranteed that __ext4_get_inode_loc will definitely set
err_blk pointer when it returns EIO. To avoid using uninitialized
variables, let's first set err_blk to 0.
