Subject: [PATCH v2] Btrfs: do not overwrite error return value in the balance ioctl
Date: Tue,  8 Jan 2019 11:42:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190108114201.1997-1-fdmanana@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181214194541.21891-1-fdmanana@kernel.org>

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

If the call to btrfs_balance() failed we would overwrite the error
returned to user space with -EFAULT if the call to copy_to_user() failed
as well. Fix that by calling copy_to_user() only if btrfs_balance()
returned success or was canceled.

Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

V2: Considered the case where balance is canceled.
