[PATCH] not empty pages list after fuse_readpages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

fuse_readpages looks buggy for me because it doesn't care 
about making the @pages list empty at exit.

If it is indeed a bug, I suggest the following patch:

don't let fuse_readpages leave the @pages list not empty
when exiting on error.
