Subject: [PATCH v2 01/16] VFS: discard err2 in filename_create()
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:00:19 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250822000818.1086550-2-neil@brown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250822000818.1086550-1-neil@brown.name>

Since 204a575e91f3 "VFS: add common error checks to lookup_one_qstr_excl()"
filename_create() does not need to stash the error value from mnt_want_write()
into a separate variable - the logic that used to clobber 'error' after the
call of mnt_want_write() has migrated into lookup_one_qstr_excl().

So there is no need for two different err variables.
This patch discards "err2" and uses "error' throughout.
