cifs: Fix incorrect return code being printed in cFYI messages
FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being printed when cifsFYI is enabled. This could be misleading in few cases. For eg. In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid(). Basically convert FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR; return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid); return rc; [Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems like a good longer term goal, but although there is an alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet available that I know of that we can use (yet) to convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for creating an identifier that we can use to correlate all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation (ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id is harder). Eventually when a replacement for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people use this run time configurable logging all the time for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem which made it harder to notice some low memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile to fix this problem until a better logging approach is able to be used] Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
