[PATCH v1 6/9] ntfs: return real error from ntfs_non_resident_attr_record_add()

From: Baolin Liu

Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 01:36:16 EST


From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@xxxxxxxxxx>

ntfs_non_resident_attr_record_add() returns -1 at its put_err_out
label, which callers propagate as -EPERM to userspace.

Return the actual error code. Every path reaching the label has
err set to a negative errno.

Fixes: 495e90fa3348 ("ntfs: update attrib operations")
