If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit aa27c65e7fa6053d28d4cd611111aad4e4292893 Author: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 17 18:12:25 2022 -0400 nilfs2: Remove check for PageError [ Upstream commit 79ea65563ad8aaab309d61eeb4d5019dd6cf5fa0 ] If read_mapping_page() encounters an error, it returns an errno, not a page with PageError set, so this test is not needed.
