[PATCH 3.16 35/72] hypfs: Fix error number left in struct pointer member

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Dec 08 2019 - 08:55:03 EST


3.16.79-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b54c64f7adeb241423cd46598f458b5486b0375e upstream.

In hypfs_fill_super(), if hypfs_create_update_file() fails,
sbi->update_file is left holding an error number. This is passed to
hypfs_kill_super() which doesn't check for this.

Fix this by not setting sbi->update_value until after we've checked for
error.
