[PATCH] exportfs: check for error return value from exportfs_encode_*()

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

The exportfs_encode_*() helpers call the filesystem ->encode_fh()
method which returns a signed int.

All the in-tree implementations of ->encode_fh() return a positive
integer and FILEID_INVALID (255) for error.

Fortify the callers for possible future ->encode_fh() implementation
that will return a negative error value.

name_to_handle_at() would propagate the returned error to the users
if filesystem ->encode_fh() method returns an error.

Jan,

This patch is on top of the patches you have queued on fsnotify branch.

I am not sure about the handling of negative value in nfsfh.c.

Jeff/Chuck,

Could you please take a look.

I've test this patch with fanotify LTP tests, xfstest -g exportfs tests
and some sanity xfstest nfs tests, but I did not try to inject errors
in encode_fh().

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Amir.
