[patch] btrfs: uninitialized data is check_path_shared()

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

 



refs can be used with uninitialized data if btrfs_lookup_extent_info()
fails on the first pass through the loop.  In the original code if that
happens then check_path_shared() probably returns 1, but with this patch
it will continue through the loop.

I'm not super familiar with this code so please look it over carefully.
