5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Coly Li <colyli@xxxxxxx> commit 777967e7e9f6f5f3e153abffb562bffaf4430d26 upstream. In btree_gc_rewrite_node(), pointer 'n' is not checked after it returns from btree_gc_rewrite_node(). There is potential possibility that 'n' is a non NULL ERR_PTR(), referencing such error code is not permitted in following code. Therefore a return value checking is necessary after 'n' is back from btree_node_alloc_replacement().
