From: ZhangPeng <zhangpeng362@xxxxxxxxxx>
Dan Carpenter reported a Smatch static checker warning:
fs/ntfs3/namei.c:96 ntfs_lookup()
error: potential NULL/IS_ERR bug 'inode'
It will cause null-ptr-deref when dir_search_u() returns NULL if the
file is not found.
Fix this by replacing IS_ERR() with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to add a check for
NULL.
Fixes: fb6b59b5a2d6 ("fs/ntfs3: Fix null-ptr-deref on inode->i_op in ntfs_lookup()")
