Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Remove second variable named error in __dentry_path
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 15:43:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fvoi6wyq.fsf@xmission.com> (raw)


In commit  232d2d60aa5469bb097f55728f65146bd49c1d25
Author: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 9 12:18:13 2013 -0400

    dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock

The __dentry_path locking was changed and the variable error was
intended to be moved outside of the loop.  Unfortunately the inner
declaration of error was not removed. Resulting in a version of
__dentry_path that will never return an error.

Remove the problematic inner declaration of error and allow
__dentry_path to return errors once again.
