Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] hfs: return ERR_PTR() from hfs_iget()
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:19:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_190DA969DF79232C4E2FA681510C3E365108@qq.com> (raw)

hfs_iget() returns NULL both for corrupted catalog records and for
allocation failures, so the callers cannot tell them apart: hfs_lookup()
reports every case as -EACCES and hfs_fill_super() as -EINVAL.

Return ERR_PTR(-EIO) for the corruption cases and ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) when
the inode cannot be allocated, the same way minix_iget() does, and let
the callers propagate the error.
