Subject: Errors reported by Coverity in ext3.
[Re-sending to the ext3 list, with minor edits]
I'm in the process of fixing errors generated by the Coverity
tool on the Linux kernel, and I would like your comment on a
set of problems reported in ext3.
The main issue reported is not checking the return code of
ext3_journal_get_write_access() in various places. I would like
to know if there should be error handling in these cases. The
places where the return value is not checked are(in the current
kernel version):
fs/ext3/inode.c ext3_clear_blocks 1829
fs/ext3/namei.c ext3_append 63
fs/ext3/namei.c ext3_delete_entry 1585
fs/ext3/namei.c ext3_mkdir 1745
fs/ext3/namei.c ext3_rename 2273
fs/ext3/namei.c ext3_rename 2328
I have attached the full text of errors reported by Coverity on
kernel version 2.6.13, for reference.

Here is a patch we have locally for this one (though against a 2.6.9-RHEL4
kernel, likely usable in mainline with minor tweaks).
