9p: ensure err is initialized to 0 in p9_client_read/write
Some use of those functions were providing unitialized values to those functions. Notably, when reading 0 bytes from an empty file on a 9P filesystem, the return code of read() was not 0. Tested with this simple program: #include <assert.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, const char **argv) { assert(argc == 2); char buffer[256]; int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY); assert(fd >= 0); assert(read(fd, buffer, 0) == 0); return 0; } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.1 Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat <vincent@bernat.im> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
