ext4: ioctl: fix erroneous return value
The ext4_ioctl_setflags() function which is used in the ioctls EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS and EXT4_IOC_FSSETXATTR may return the positive value EPERM instead of -EPERM in case of error. This bug was introduced by a recent commit 9b7365fc. The following program can be used to illustrate the wrong behavior: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <err.h> #define FS_IOC_GETFLAGS _IOR('f', 1, long) #define FS_IOC_SETFLAGS _IOW('f', 2, long) #define FS_IMMUTABLE_FL 0x00000010 int main(void) { int fd; long flags; fd = open("file", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600); if (fd < 0) err(1, "open"); if (ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, &flags) < 0) err(1, "ioctl: FS_IOC_GETFLAGS"); flags |= FS_IMMUTABLE_FL; if (ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, &flags) < 0) err(1, "ioctl: FS_IOC_SETFLAGS"); warnx("ioctl returned no error"); return 0; } Running it gives the following result: $ strace -e ioctl ./test ioctl(3, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, 0x7ffdbd8bfd38) = 0 ioctl(3, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, 0x7ffdbd8bfd38) = 1 test: ioctl returned no error +++ exited with 0 +++ Running the program on a kernel with the bug fixed gives the proper result: $ strace -e ioctl ./test ioctl(3, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, 0x7ffdd2768258) = 0 ioctl(3, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, 0x7ffdd2768258) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) test: ioctl: FS_IOC_SETFLAGS: Operation not permitted +++ exited with 1 +++ Signed-off-by: Anton Protopopov <a.s.protopopov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
