Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: fix uninitialized return value in shmem_link
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 14:21:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190221222123.GC6474@magnolia> (raw)
From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>
When we made the shmem_reserve_inode call in shmem_link conditional, we
forgot to update the declaration for ret so that it always has a known
value. Dan Carpenter pointed out this deficiency in the original patch.
Fixes: "tmpfs: fix link accounting when a tmpfile is linked in"
Reported-by: dan.carpenter@oracle.com
