From 617a0b89da4898d4cc990c9eb4bc9c0591c538a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinz Mauelshagen Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:21:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dm cache: detect cache_create failure Return error if cache_create() fails. A missing return check made cache_ctr continue even after an error in cache_create() resulting in the cache object being destroyed. So a simple failure like an odd number of cache policy config value arguments would result in an oops.
