From 80cff3e1167021d5c5d821ef267b7b79eeec8865 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2021 10:27:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix return of uninitialized value in variable error [ Upstream commit 3b6dd9a9aeeada19d0c820ff68e979243a888bb6 ] A previous commit removed a call to xfs_attr3_leaf_read that assigned an error return code to variable error. We now have a few early error return paths to label 'out' that return error if error is set; however error now is uninitialized so potentially garbage is being returned. Fix this by setting error to zero to restore the original behaviour where error was zero at the label 'restart'.
