When allocated is unsiged it breaks the error handling at the end of the function when we call: allocated = ext4_split_extent(...); if (allocated < 0) err = allocated; I've made it a signed int instead of unsigned. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- You guys know I'm not an ext4 expert. I can't swear that the math all works correctly with a signed int. I'm pretty sure it does, but please review this carefully. diff --git a/fs/ext4/extents.c b/fs/ext4/extents.c index 57cf568..d65b268 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/extents.c +++ b/fs/ext4/extents.c @@ -2919,7 +2919,8 @@ static int ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(handle_t *handle, struct ext4_extent zero_ex; struct ext4_extent *ex; ext4_lblk_t ee_block, eof_block; - unsigned int allocated, ee_len, depth; + unsigned int ee_len, depth; + int allocated; int err = 0; int split_flag = 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
