From 99b64567486716d18b2156cad188d86478816e4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:08:34 -0700 Subject: do_coredump: fix the "ispipe" error check do_coredump() assumes that if format_corename() fails it should return -ENOMEM. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can propagate the error from d_path. Even if it was true, this is too fragile. Change the code to check "ispipe < 0".
