[PATCH 3.12 25/84] hostfs: Freeing an ERR_PTR in hostfs_fill_sb_common()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Oct 17 2016 - 04:18:57 EST


From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 8a545f185145e3c09348cd74326268ecfc6715a3 upstream.

We can't pass error pointers to kfree() or it causes an oops.

Fixes: 52b209f7b848 ('get rid of hostfs_read_inode()')
