[PATCH 4.4 19/69] ubifs: Fix regression in ubifs_readdir()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 09 2016 - 05:45:18 EST


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

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

commit a00052a296e54205cf238c75bd98d17d5d02a6db upstream.

Commit c83ed4c9dbb35 ("ubifs: Abort readdir upon error") broke
overlayfs support because the fix exposed an internal error
code to VFS.
