Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: fix potential (unlikely) oops in reiserfs_get_acl
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=90947ef26fa689a3252aa8282a01f60648e70fdb;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] reiserfs: fix potential (unlikely) oops in reiserfs_get_acl

This fixes a potential oops if there is an error reported by
posix_acl_from_disk().  This is mostly theoretical due to the use of
magics and checksums in xattrs, but is still possible.
