This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: remove err variable from btrfs_delete_subvolume to the 5.10-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-remove-err-variable-from-btrfs_delete_subvolum.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f8d42dc3e8639bec236f77654c5c600cbb57794d Author: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 24 17:49:30 2020 +0200 btrfs: remove err variable from btrfs_delete_subvolume [ Upstream commit ee0d904fd9c5662c58a737c77384f8959fdc8d12 ] Use only a single 'ret' to control whether we should abort the transaction or not. That's fine, because if we abort a transaction then btrfs_end_transaction will return the same value as passed to btrfs_abort_transaction. No semantic changes.
