Subject: [PATCH] do_coredump: fix the "ispipe" error check
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 20:35:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110607183542.GA5559@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110607181607.GA3732@redhat.com>
do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should
return -ENOMEM. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file()
can propagate the error from d_path. Even if it was true, this is
too fragile. Change the code to check "ispipe < 0".
