[PATCH 3.14 070/122] nfs: Fix use of uninitialized variable in nfs_getattr()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:49:01 EST


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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 16caf5b6101d03335b386e77e9e14136f989be87 upstream.

Variable 'err' needn't be initialized when nfs_getattr() uses it to
check whether it should call generic_fillattr() or not. That can result
in spurious error returns. Initialize 'err' properly.
