This series fixes a number of problems on error paths in the ntfs
driver: errors that are swallowed or collapsed so operations report
success or a wrong errno (patches 1-6), a kmap_local leak (patch 7),
and free cluster miscounting on failed frees (patches 8-9).
Baolin Liu (9):
ntfs: return DT_UNKNOWN on inode lookup failure in readdir
ntfs: fail EA update when reading $EA_INFORMATION fails
ntfs: propagate reparse index insertion failure
ntfs: return -ERANGE for undersized xattr buffer
ntfs: preserve error code in ntfs_resident_attr_record_add()
ntfs: return real error from ntfs_non_resident_attr_record_add()
ntfs: fix kmap_local leak in write_mft_record_nolock() error paths
ntfs: only count successfully cleared runs when freeing clusters
ntfs: skip free cluster decrement when rollback fails
Applied them except 0002 patch to #ntfs-next.
Could you please recreate 0002 patch based on the #ntfs-next branch?
Thanks.
Hi Namjae,
The 0002 patch has been recreated on top of ntfs-next and sent as
"[PATCH v2] ntfs: leave HasEA flag untouched on setxattr failure".
Note that the subject changed: on ntfs-next, the -EIO return for a
failed $EA_INFORMATION read is already handled by 56cc42a7b387
("ntfs: return errors from ntfs_attr_readall"), so only the HasEA
flag part of the original patch remains.
Thanks,
Baolin
