[PATCH 3.16 53/63] xfs: don't call xfs_da_shrink_inode with NULL bp

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Sep 21 2018 - 20:24:31 EST


3.16.58-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bb3d48dcf86a97dc25fe9fc2c11938e19cb4399a upstream.

xfs_attr3_leaf_create may have errored out before instantiating a buffer,
for example if the blkno is out of range. In that case there is no work
to do to remove it, and in fact xfs_da_shrink_inode will lead to an oops
if we try.

This also seems to fix a flaw where the original error from
xfs_attr3_leaf_create gets overwritten in the cleanup case, and it
removes a pointless assignment to bp which isn't used after this.
