Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs : Fix the return values for ino=0 in ext2fs_read_inode_full() if inode cache has been flushed.
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:27:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ea11fea30807120657l2de0b501qefb45231edd5fac0@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Ted,

It looks like the right place to check for ino=0 in
ext2fs_read_inode_full() is before creating the inode cache, otherwise
since we set icache[i].ino = 0 in create_icache(), it will match the
loop below and thus we return a wrong value. Below patch fixes it.
