Re: [PATCH] dax: Fix wrong error-number passed into xas_set_err()

From: Pankaj Gupta
Date: Thu Jul 30 2020 - 00:33:33 EST


> The error-number passed into xas_set_err() should be negative. Otherwise,
> the xas_error() will return 0, and grab_mapping_entry() will return the

> And then, the subsequent code path would be wrong.
