From f39b3f45dbcb0343822cce31ea7636ad66e60bc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2018 17:13:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: reset error code in ext4_find_entry in fallback When ext4_find_entry() falls back to "searching the old fashioned way" due to a corrupt dx dir, it needs to reset the error code to NULL so that the nonstandard ERR_BAD_DX_DIR code isn't returned to userspace. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199947 Reported-by: Anatoly Trosinenko Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- fs/ext4/namei.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/fs/ext4/namei.c b/fs/ext4/namei.c index 2a4c25c..116ff68 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/namei.c +++ b/fs/ext4/namei.c @@ -1398,6 +1398,7 @@ static struct buffer_head * ext4_find_entry (struct inode *dir, goto cleanup_and_exit; dxtrace(printk(KERN_DEBUG "ext4_find_entry: dx failed, " "falling back\n")); + ret = NULL; } nblocks = dir->i_size >> EXT4_BLOCK_SIZE_BITS(sb); if (!nblocks) { -- 2.7.4
