From e68888bcb60ccba4dc21df9f2d8cd7325b64dce7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 20:46:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: minimal fix for ACL caching reiserfs uses NULL as "unknown" and ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) as "no ACL"; several codepaths store the former instead of the latter. All those codepaths go through iset_acl() and all cases when it's called with NULL acl are for the second variety, so the minimal fix is to teach iset_acl() to deal with that. Proper fix is to switch to more usual conventions and avoid back and forth between internally used ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) and NULL expected by the rest of the kernel.
