4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kangjie Lu <kjlu@xxxxxxx> commit 7ecced0934e574b528a1ba6c237731e682216a74 upstream. ida_simple_get may fail and return a negative error number. The fix checks its return value; if it fails, go to err_destroy.
