From d0f69b5a66c30350ed6e41eef72414ce8650face Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudip Mukherjee Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 21:53:01 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre: lov: fix dereference of ERR_PTR If lov_sub_get() fails then it returns the error code in ERR_PTR, but here we were dereferencing sub without checking if lov_sub_get() has actually succeeded or not. And on error we can directly return the error code from lov_io_fault_start() as it return 0 on success and the error code on error.
