[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: fix infinite loop for orphan entry list

[lihongweizz]

Orphan file may be in the recover list already when the ip_next_orphan
is NULL (for example, orphan file is second tail elementof recover
list). In this scenario, the file could be added to the list twice
and infinite loop happened. So we need another pointer value here(EFAULT)
 instead of NULL for the list tail element.
