Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/9p: Insulate the client against an invalid error code sent by a 9p server.
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:59:18 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f6e1b7990907270859l65f84d8bm4712f6d82d9a688a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1248707662-4060-1-git-send-email-adkulkar@umail.iu.edu>

Adding netdev to Cc.

A looney tunes server sending an invalid error code (which is !IS_ERR_VALUE)
can result in a client oops. So fix it by adding a check and converting unknown
or invalid error codes to -ESERVERFAULT.
