[PATCH v2] ext4: Fix ERR_PTR(0) in ext4_mkdir()
Posted by Hongling Zeng 4 days, 1 hour ago
When mkdir succeeds, ext4_mkdir() returns ERR_PTR(0) which is incorrect.
It should return NULL instead for success and ERR_PTR() only with
negative error codes for failure.

Fixes: 88d5baf69082 ("Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *")
