Hi, Good intention but it's now swallowing errors from earlier places in the code that jump to the out_fail label. For e.g. if the call to btrfs_set_inode_index() fails, we jump to out_fail and we lose the error value that it returned (btrfs_end_transaction() returns 0 for e.g.), so userspace thinks everything succeed when it didn't. Correct fix is to set ret to the return value of btrfs_end_transaction() only if ret is currently zero. thanks > out_notrans: > if (old_ino == BTRFS_FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID) > up_read(&root->fs_info->subvol_sem); > -- > 2.4.3 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Filipe David Manana, "Reasonable men adapt themselves to the world.
