Subject: [PATCH] ovl: properly print correct variable
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 22:38:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250721203821.7812-1-antonio@mandelbit.com> (raw)
In case of ovl_lookup_temp() failure, we currently print `err`
which is actually not initialized at all.
Instead, properly print PTR_ERR(whiteout) which is where the
actual error really is.
Address-Coverity-ID: 1647983 ("Uninitialized variables (UNINIT)")
Fixes: 8afa0a7367138 ("ovl: narrow locking in ovl_whiteout()")
