Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 120/218] vfs: show_vfsstat: do not ignore errors from show_devname method

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: "Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@...linux.org>

commit 5f8d498d4364f544fee17125787a47553db02afa upstream.

Explicitly check show_devname method return code and bail out in case
of an error.  This fixes regression introduced by commit 9d4d65748a5c.
