Subject: [PATCH v2] xfs: Fix error pointer dereference
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 23:18:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219051841.60999-1-ethantidmore06@gmail.com> (raw)
The function try_lookup_noperm() can return an error pointer and is not
checked for one. Add checks for error pointer and propagate it.
Fixes: 73597e3e42b4 ("xfs: ensure dentry consistency when the orphanage adopts a file")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v6.16
