[PATCH] f2fs: fix error handling on device alias check in rename and unlink
From: Daeho Jeong
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 10:22:58 EST
From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@xxxxxxxxxx>
In f2fs_rename() and f2fs_unlink(), directly returning -EPERM when
encountering a device aliasing file bypasses the cleanup path.
Fix this by setting err to -EPERM and jumping to the proper cleanup
labels (out_dir and out) instead of returning immediately.
Fixes: a737e409a3d6 ("f2fs: support dynamic reserve/release for device aliasing")
