From 39b652527457452f09b35044fb4f8b3b0eabafdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anatol Pomozov Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:11:55 -0700 Subject: fs: Preserve error code in get_empty_filp(), part 2 Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because of several reasons: - not enough memory for file structures - operation is not allowed - user is over its limit Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function can fail with ENFILE only. Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code. [AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit (things remaining here deal with alloc_file()), removed pipe(2) behaviour change] Signed-off-by: Anatol Pomozov Reviewed-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- net/socket.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'net') diff --git a/net/socket.c b/net/socket.c index 2ca51c719ef..f4a8c5a0b8d 100644 --- a/net/socket.c +++ b/net/socket.c @@ -370,11 +370,11 @@ struct file *sock_alloc_file(struct socket *sock, int flags, const char *dname) file = alloc_file(&path, FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE, &socket_file_ops); - if (unlikely(!file)) { + if (unlikely(IS_ERR(file))) { /* drop dentry, keep inode */ ihold(path.dentry->d_inode); path_put(&path); - return ERR_PTR(-ENFILE); + return file; } sock->file = file; -- cgit v1.2.3
