[PATCH] nfs-utils: fix endptr check in closeall (try #2)

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

 



The closeall function is broken in such a way that it almost never
closes any file descriptors. It's calling strtol on the text
representation of the file descriptor, and then checking to see if the
value of *endptr is not '\0' before trying to close the file. This check
is wrong.

When strtol returns an endptr that points to a NULL byte, that indicates
that the conversion was completely successful. I believe this check
should instead be requiring that endptr is pointing to '\0' before closing
the fd.

Also, fix up the function to check for conversion errors from strtol. If
one occurs, just skip the close on that entry.
