4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@xxxxxxx> commit 78ad4ce014d025f41b8dde3a81876832ead643cf upstream. btrfs_cmp_data_prepare() (almost) always returns 0 i.e. ignoring errors from gather_extent_pages(). While the pages are freed by btrfs_cmp_data_free(), cmp->num_pages still has > 0. Then, btrfs_extent_same() try to access the already freed pages causing faults (or violates PageLocked assertion). This patch just return the error as is so that the caller stop the process.
