3.5.7.17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 64cb927371cd2ec43758d8a094a003d27bc3d0dc upstream. Both ext3 and ext4 htree_dirblock_to_tree() is just filling the in-core rbtree for use by call_filldir(). All updates of ->f_pos are done by the latter; bumping it here (on error) is obviously wrong - we might very well have it nowhere near the block we'd found an error in.
