Subject: vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=50ee93afcaa970620d1fb5a9894109a2ab152868;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error

If open fails, don't put the file.  This allows it to be reused if open needs to
be retried.
