From 860d21e2c585f7ee8a4ecc06f474fdc33c9474f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:19:36 -0500 Subject: ext4: return ENOMEM if sb_getblk() fails The only reason for sb_getblk() failing is if it can't allocate the buffer_head. So ENOMEM is more appropriate than EIO. In addition, make sure that the file system is marked as being inconsistent if sb_getblk() fails.
