From 3672558c6180ca28a7aa46765702467a37e58fc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hua Zhong Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 15:25:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: sockfd_lookup_light() returns random error for -EBADFD This applies to 2.6.17-rc2. There is a missing initialization of err in sockfd_lookup_light() that could return random error for an invalid file handle. Signed-off-by: Hua Zhong Signed-off-by: David S.
