[PATCH v2] Btrfs: do not overwrite error return value in the balance ioctl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>

If the call to btrfs_balance() failed we would overwrite the error
returned to user space with -EFAULT if the call to copy_to_user() failed
as well. Fix that by calling copy_to_user() only if btrfs_balance()
returned success or was canceled.

V2: Considered the case where balance is canceled.
