mountfsd_make_directory() opens the parent directory after a
successful path_extract_filename() call, but reports failure using
the stale path_extract_filename() return value:
r = path_extract_filename(path, &dirname);
if (r < 0)
return log_debug_errno(r, ...);
...
_cleanup_close_ int fd = open(parent, O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC);
if (fd < 0)
return log_debug_errno(r, "Failed to open '%s': %m", parent);
At the open() check site r holds the non-negative return of
path_extract_filename(). log_debug_errno() with a non-negative
first argument returns 0, so the function reports success even
though open() failed. Callers that pass a non-NULL ret_directory_fd
then consume an uninitialized fd value, and the diagnostic message
is suppressed because log_debug_errno(0, ...) emits nothing.
Fix by passing errno instead of r, matching the convention used in
mountfsd_mount_image() and mountfsd_mount_directory() in the same
file. The real open() failure (ENOENT, EACCES, ENOTDIR, EMFILE, ...)
now propagates to the caller and the log message is preserved.
