[PATCH 3/4] ext3: Handle error from d_splice_alias()

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2012-05-29 20:07:56
Also in: linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

When directory hiearchy is corrupted and contains cycles, d_splice_alias() can
fail. Handle the failure cleanly.
