Caused by the following commit, partially revert it. Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in node allocations") replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference. crash> bt PID: 7773 TASK: ffff49cc44d69340 CPU: 57 COMMAND: "kworker/57:2" #0 [ffff800046373800] machine_kexec at ffffbe5039eb54a8 #1 [ffff8000463739b0] __crash_kexec at ffffbe503a052824 #2 [ffff8000463739e0] crash_kexec at ffffbe503a0529cc #3 [ffff800046373a60] die at ffffbe5039e9445c #4 [ffff800046373ac0] die_kernel_fault at ffffbe5039ec698c #5 [ffff800046373af0] __do_kernel_fault at ffffbe5039ec6a38 #6 [ffff800046373b20] do_page_fault at ffffbe503ac76ba4 #7 [ffff800046373b70] do_translation_fault at ffffbe503ac76ebc #8 [ffff800046373b90] do_mem_abort at ffffbe5039ec68ac #9 [ffff800046373bc0] el1_abort at ffffbe503ac669bc crash> dis cache_set_flush+0x94 0xffffbe50121fa4c8 <cache_set_flush+148>: str x23, [x20, #512] If the bcache cache disk contains damaged data,when the bcache cache disk partition is directly operated,the system-udevd service is triggered to call the bcache-register program to register the bcache device, resulting in kernel oops. This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.
