4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2a6fba6d2311151598abaa1e7c9abd5f8d024a43 upstream. Today, the put_listent formatters return either 1 or 0; if they return 1, some callers treat this as an error and return it up the stack, despite "1" not being a valid (negative) error code. The intent seems to be that if the input buffer is full, we set seen_enough or set count = -1, and return 1; but some callers check the return before checking the seen_enough or count fields of the context. Fix this by only returning non-zero for actual errors encountered, and rely on the caller to first check the return value, then check the values in the context to decide what to do.
