[PATCH 05/10] virtio: console: update private_data in struct file only on successful open

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

 



Mateusz Guzik points out that we update the 'file' struct's private_data
field before we've successfully done all our checks.  This means we can
return an error with the private_data field updated.  This could lead to
problems.

Fix by moving the assignment after all checks are done.
