[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 162/170] ext4: bail out from make_indexed_dir() on first error

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 06:15:18 EST


3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 6050d47adcadbb53582434d919ed7f038d936712 upstream.

When ext4_handle_dirty_dx_node() or ext4_handle_dirty_dirent_node()
fail, there's really something wrong with the fs and there's no point in
continuing further. Just return error from make_indexed_dir() in that
case. Also initialize frames array so that if we return early due to
error, dx_release() doesn't try to dereference uninitialized memory
(which could happen also due to error in do_split()).
