This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: be a bit more careful when setting mirror_num_ret in btrfs_map_block to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-be-a-bit-more-careful-when-setting-mirror_num_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e73188bd438294cee72fe11e00cbce1b297072ac Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 27 08:13:23 2023 +0200 btrfs: be a bit more careful when setting mirror_num_ret in btrfs_map_block [ Upstream commit 4e7de35eb7d1a1d4f2dda15f39fbedd4798a0b8d ] The mirror_num_ret is allowed to be NULL, although it has to be set when smap is set. Unfortunately that is not a well enough specifiable invariant for static type checkers, so add a NULL check to make sure they are fine.
