From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: dan.carpenter@oracle.com (Dan Carpenter) Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 10:39:20 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Fix an error code in aafs_create() Message-ID: <20170713073920.tdhewrs2ggtxylfs@mwanda> To: linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-security-module.vger.kernel.org We accidentally forgot to set the error code on this path. It means we return NULL instead of an error pointer. I looked through a bunch of callers and I don't think it really causes a big issue, but the documentation says we're supposed to return error pointers here.
