5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 12f47bf0f0990933d95d021d13d31bda010648fd ] FAN_FS_ERROR doesn't support DFID, but this function is still called for every event. The problem is that it is not capable of handling null inodes, which now can happen in case of superblock error events. For this case, just returning dir will be enough.
