[PATCH] block: fix an error code in add_partition()

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

 



We don't set an error code on this path.  It means that we return NULL
instead of an error pointer and the caller does a NULL dereference.

Fixes: 6d1d8050b4bc ("block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct")
