From 39b652527457452f09b35044fb4f8b3b0eabafdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anatol Pomozov Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:11:55 -0700 Subject: fs: Preserve error code in get_empty_filp(), part 2 Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because of several reasons: - not enough memory for file structures - operation is not allowed - user is over its limit Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function can fail with ENFILE only. Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code. [AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit (things remaining here deal with alloc_file()), removed pipe(2) behaviour change] Signed-off-by: Anatol Pomozov Reviewed-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- fs/pipe.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/pipe.c') diff --git a/fs/pipe.c b/fs/pipe.c index 39baf6c3ebb0..64a494cef0a0 100644 --- a/fs/pipe.c +++ b/fs/pipe.c @@ -1037,13 +1037,13 @@ int create_pipe_files(struct file **res, int flags) err = -ENFILE; f = alloc_file(&path, FMODE_WRITE, &write_pipefifo_fops); - if (!f) + if (IS_ERR(f)) goto err_dentry; f->f_flags = O_WRONLY | (flags & (O_NONBLOCK | O_DIRECT)); res[0] = alloc_file(&path, FMODE_READ, &read_pipefifo_fops); - if (!res[0]) + if (IS_ERR(res[0])) goto err_file; path_get(&path); -- cgit v1.2.3
