    cifs: Fix incorrect return code being printed in cFYI messages · 0f3bc09e
    Suresh Jayaraman authored
    FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that
    prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return
    error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being
    printed when cifsFYI is enabled.
    
    This could be misleading in few cases. For eg.
    In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to
    cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being
    returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid().
    
    Basically convert
    
    FreeXid(xid);			rc = -ERR;
    return -ERR;		=>	FreeXid(xid);
    				return rc;
    
    [Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid
    calls, which are primarily used for debugging.  This seems
    like a good longer term goal, but although there is an
    alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet
    available that I know of that we can use (yet) to
    convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for
    creating an identifier that we can use to correlate
    all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation
    (ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs
    request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write
    or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id
    is harder).  Eventually when a replacement
    for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various
    samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the
    GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people
    use this run time configurable logging all the time
    for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem
    which made it harder to notice some low
    memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile
    to fix this problem until a better logging
    approach is able to be used]
