Subject[PATCH] afs: Fix overwriting of result of DNS query
Date
Hi Linus,

Could you apply this fix, please?

Thanks,
David
---

In afs_update_cell(), ret is the result of the DNS lookup and the errors
are to be handled by a switch - however, the value gets clobbered in
between by setting it to -ENOMEM in case afs_alloc_vlserver_list() fails.

Fix this by moving the setting of -ENOMEM into the error handling for OOM
failure. Further, only do it if we don't have an alternative error to
return.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. Based on
a patch from Anastasia Belova[1].
