This fixes Continuous Availability when errors during file reopen are encountered. cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev would wait for ever if results of cifs_reopen_file are not stored and for later inspection. In fact, results are checked and, in case of errors, a chain of function calls leading to reads and writes to be scheduled in a separate thread is skipped. These threads will wake up the corresponding waiters once reads and writes are done. However, given the return value is not stored, when rc is checked for errors a previous one (always zero) is inspected instead. This leads to pending reads/writes added to the list, making cifs_user_readv and cifs_user_writev wait for ever.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
