Subject: [PATCH] v9fs: don't free root dentry & inode if error occurs in v9fs_get_sb
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc3~51^2~61
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f71626a461e7d4af099ca71830ea530e96c22e11;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-exynos.git

[PATCH] v9fs: don't free root dentry & inode if error occurs in v9fs_get_sb

If error occurs while in v9fs_get_sb after it calles sget, the dentry object
of the root and its inode may be freed twice -- once while handling the error
in v9fs_get_sb, and second time when v9fs_get_sb calles deactivate_super
(which in turn calls v9fs_kill_super)

The patch removes the unnecessary code that frees the root dentry and its
inode.
