From 16caf5b6101d03335b386e77e9e14136f989be87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:02:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nfs: Fix use of uninitialized variable in nfs_getattr() Variable 'err' needn't be initialized when nfs_getattr() uses it to check whether it should call generic_fillattr() or not. That can result in spurious error returns. Initialize 'err' properly.
