From 618763958b2291a09057dbfa553da6ded93dcfad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 07:28:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: make cifs_ioctl handle NULL filp->private_data correctly Commit 13cfb7334e made cifs_ioctl use the tlink attached to the cifsFileInfo for a filp. This ignores the case of an open directory however, which in CIFS can have a NULL private_data until a readdir is done on it. This patch re-adds the NULL pointer checks that were removed in commit 50ae28f01 and moves the setting of tcon and "caps" variables lower. Long term, a better fix would be to establish a f_op->open routine for directories that populates that field at open time, but that requires some other changes to how readdir calls are handled.
