Subject: [PATCH 3.16 082/233] block: fix an error code in add_partition()
3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>
commit 7bd897cfce1eb373892d35d7f73201b0f9b221c4 upstream.
We don't set an error code on this path. It means that we return NULL
instead of an error pointer and the caller does a NULL dereference.
Fixes: 6d1d8050b4bc ("block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct")
