[PATCH] reiserfs: check kstrdup failure

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

 



Check out-of-memory failure of the kstrdup option. Note that the argument
"arg" may be NULL (in that case kstrup returns NULL), so out of memory
condition happened if arg was non-NULL and kstrdup returned NULL.

The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't
pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options
(thus we don't erase existing reported options).

Note that to properly report options after remount, the reiserfs 
filesystem should implement the show_options method. Without the 
show_options method, options changed with remount replace existing 
options.
