They aren't all bugs. Some of them are just splitting errnos apart from return values for typesafety. The ones that are bugfixes are unlikely-to-happen bugs like running out of memory when allocating a page table, and returning "we inserted the PTE" instead of "we ran out of memory". More of a QOI issue than an exploitable bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
