[PATCH] fs/ntfs3: fix an error code in ntfs_get_acl_ex()

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

 



The ntfs_get_ea() function returns negative error codes or on success
it returns the length.  In the original code a zero length return was
treated as -ENODATA and results in a NULL return.  But it should be
treated as an invalid length and result in an PTR_ERR(-EINVAL) return.

I'm not super familiar with this code.  Please review this one
extra carefully.  I think it's theoretical because hopefully
ntfs_get_ea() doesn't ever return invalid lengths.
