Subject: [RFC-PATCH] fuse: shadowed variable warning

fs/fuse/dir.c:909:7: warning: symbol 'err' shadows an earlier one
fs/fuse/dir.c:893:6: originally declared here

This means that an error between lines 909 and 923 will not be
returned.

Miklos, could you confirm whether or not you want the err from lines
909-923 returned or not. If so, I can respin this patch changing the
variable name instead which would preserve the current behavior.
This patch changes behavior.
