From 80975d21aae2136ccae1ce914a1602dc1d8b0795 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 09:02:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: cope with negative dentries in cifs_get_root The loop around lookup_one_len doesn't handle the case where it might return a negative dentry, which can cause an oops on the next pass through the loop. Check for that and break out of the loop with an error of -ENOENT if there is one.
