This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: adjust return values of btrfs_inode_by_name to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-adjust-return-values-of-btrfs_inode_by_name.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Nov 27 04:14:13 PM CET 2020 From: Su Yue <suy.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 17:13:37 +0800 Subject: btrfs: adjust return values of btrfs_inode_by_name From: Su Yue <suy.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 005d67127fa9dfb3382f2c9e918feed7a243a7fe upstream Previously, btrfs_inode_by_name() returned 0 which left caller to check objectid of location even location if the type was invalid. Let btrfs_inode_by_name() return -EUCLEAN if a corrupted location of a dir entry is found. Removal of label out_err also simplifies the function.
