Subject: [PATCH] staging/lustre: Unbreak ll_prep_inode iget result check
Date: Wed,  2 Mar 2016 08:25:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456925139-1058929-1-git-send-email-green@linuxhacker.ru> (raw)

From: Oleg Drokin <green@linuxhacker.ru>

commit 020ecc6f3229 ("staging: lustre: llite: Remove IS_ERR tests")
managed to break one of the converted checks by losing a dereference
causing the condition to be wrong and hence leading
to a crash later on in case of actual error.
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(*inode) got converted into !inode.

I am not sure where did that patch came from as I cannot see
it in either my inbox or in any public mailinglists via google.
