[PATCH 2/2] kexec: Handle read errors in fs2dt setup

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Thu Oct 3 16:19:34 EDT 2013


The putnode() routine in fs2dt.c was not checking for errors
returned from calls to read().  Add checks for these errors
and abort the setup of printing from purgatory if the checks
fail.
