Bruce Fields" Cc: David Howells , NeilBrown , Al Viro , Ingo Molnar , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org I found this bug by reviewing places where we do ERR_PTR(0) (which is NULL). We used to return an error pointer if lookup_one_len() failed but we moved this code into a helper function and accidentally removed that. NULL is a valid return for this function but it's not what we intended. Fixes: bbf7a8a3562f ("exportfs: move most of reconnect_path to helper function") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter diff --git a/fs/exportfs/expfs.c b/fs/exportfs/expfs.c index 329a5d103846..451237745689 100644 --- a/fs/exportfs/expfs.c +++ b/fs/exportfs/expfs.c @@ -147,6 +147,7 @@ static struct dentry *reconnect_one(struct vfsmount *mnt, tmp = lookup_one_len_unlocked(nbuf, parent, strlen(nbuf)); if (IS_ERR(tmp)) { dprintk("%s: lookup failed: %d\n", __func__, PTR_ERR(tmp)); + err = PTR_ERR(tmp); goto out_err; } if (tmp != dentry) {
