Re: [PATCH] nfsd: encoders mustn't use unitialized values in error cases

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

 



I'm also thinking of patching the server to bypass most of the
individual encoders in the error case.  There's only a couple that
actually do anything there, most of just start with variations on

	if (nfserr)
		return nfserr;

so I figure it's better to catch that once rather than giving them a
chance to mess it up.

I also wondered for a moment if there's a module-unload race here....
But the layout types aren't loadable modules on the server side, so OK.

--b.
