This issue is reported by smatch, get_quota_realm() might return
ERR_PTR, so we should using IS_ERR_OR_NULL here to check the return

Good catch.

We should CC the stable mail list.
Hi Xiubo,

What exactly is being fixed here?  get_quota_realm() is called with
retry=true, which means that no errors can be returned -- EAGAIN, the
only error that get_quota_realm() can otherwise generate, would be
handled internally by retrying.

Yeah, that's true.

Am I missing something that makes this qualify for stable?

Actually it's just for the smatch check for now.

IMO we shouldn't depend on the 'retry', just potentially for new changes in future could return a ERR_PTR and cause potential bugs.

If that's not worth to make it for stable, let's remove it.

Thanks
