6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4d231b91a944f3cab355fce65af5871fb5d7735b ] In case of errors when reading an inode from disk or traversing inline directory entries, return an error-encoded ERR_PTR instead of returning NULL. ext4_find_inline_entry only caller, __ext4_find_entry already returns such encoded errors.
