[PATCH V1 1/2] Ext2: return ENOMEM rather than EIO if sb_getblk fails

[PATCH V1 1/2] Ext2: return ENOMEM rather than EIO if sb_getblk fails

[Wang shilong]

From: Wang Shilong <wangsl-fnst@cn.fujitsu.com>

As the only reason that sb_getblk fails is that allocation fails.
It will be better to use ENOMEM rather than EIO.

  This is actually wrong. sb_bread() can return NULL in case of IO error as
well as in case of ENOMEM. In theory you could split the error check for
the sb_getblk() and sb_bread() branch but I prefer not to bother...
