Hi,

Not exactly.
Your patch was:
-	if (IS_ERR(sb))
-		return PTR_ERR(sb);
+	if (!sb)
+		return -ENOMEM;

Mine is only:
-		return PTR_ERR(sb);
+		return -ENOMEM;

So for some reason, what you had reported was just half applied. (or 
half fixed by someone else)

just in case, the Fixes tag in Dan's patch leads to:
      "Notice: this object is not reachable from any branch."

I don't think that it is of any importance if the fix in folded, but in 
case, I let you know.
