Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in node allocations") do the following change inside btree_gc_coalesce(), 31 @@ -1340,7 +1340,7 @@ static int btree_gc_coalesce( 32 memset(new_nodes, 0, sizeof(new_nodes)); 33 closure_init_stack(&cl); 34 35 - while (nodes < GC_MERGE_NODES && !IS_ERR_OR_NULL(r[nodes].b)) 36 + while (nodes < GC_MERGE_NODES && !IS_ERR(r[nodes].b)) 37 keys += r[nodes++].keys; 38 39 blocks = btree_default_blocks(b->c) * 2 / 3; At line 35 the original r[nodes].b is not always allocatored from __bch_btree_node_alloc(), and possibly initialized as NULL pointer by caller of btree_gc_coalesce(). Therefore the change at line 36 is not correct. This patch replaces the mistaken IS_ERR() by by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to avoid potential issue.
