fs/btrfs/inode.c: Add missing IS_ERR test
After the conditional that precedes the following code, inode may be an ERR_PTR value. This can eg result from a memory allocation failure via the call to btrfs_iget, and thus does not imply that root is different than sub_root. Thus, an IS_ERR check is added to ensure that there is no dereference of inode in this case. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier f; @@ f(...) { ... return ERR_PTR(...); } @@ identifier r.f, fld; expression x; statement S1,S2; @@ x = f(...) ... when != IS_ERR(x) ( if (IS_ERR(x) ||...) S1 else S2 | *x->fld ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
