[PATCH 5.10 006/122] flexfiles/pNFS: fix NULL checks on result of ff_layout_choose_ds_for_read

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tigran Mkrtchyan <tigran.mkrtchyan@desy.de>

[ Upstream commit 5a46d2339a5ae268ede53a221f20433d8ea4f2f9 ]

Recent commit f06bedfa62d5 ("pNFS/flexfiles: don't attempt pnfs on fatal DS
errors") has changed the error return type of ff_layout_choose_ds_for_read() from
NULL to an error pointer. However, not all code paths have been updated
to match the change. Thus, some non-NULL checks will accept error pointers
as a valid return value.
