4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vincent Bernat <vincent@xxxxxxxxx> commit 999b8b88c6060adf7a9b7907740ae86ace65291e upstream. Some use of those functions were providing unitialized values to those functions. Notably, when reading 0 bytes from an empty file on a 9P filesystem, the return code of read() was not 0. Tested with this simple program: #include <assert.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, const char **argv) { assert(argc == 2); char buffer[256]; int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY); assert(fd >= 0); assert(read(fd, buffer, 0) == 0); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <vincent@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/9p/client.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) --- a/net/9p/client.c +++ b/net/9p/client.c @@ -1541,6 +1541,7 @@ p9_client_read(struct p9_fid *fid, u64 o struct p9_client *clnt = fid->clnt; struct p9_req_t *req; int total = 0; + *err = 0; p9_debug(P9_DEBUG_9P, ">>> TREAD fid %d offset %llu %d\n", fid->fid, (unsigned long long) offset, (int)iov_iter_count(to)); @@ -1616,6 +1617,7 @@ p9_client_write(struct p9_fid *fid, u64 struct p9_client *clnt = fid->clnt; struct p9_req_t *req; int total = 0; + *err = 0; p9_debug(P9_DEBUG_9P, ">>> TWRITE fid %d offset %llu count %zd\n", fid->fid, (unsigned long long) offset, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
