From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 766a78882ddf79b162243649d7dfdbac1fb6fb88 upstream.
Commit 9b1cc9f251 ("dm cache: share cache-metadata object across
inactive and active DM tables") mistakenly ignored the use of ERR_PTR
returns. Restore missing IS_ERR checks and ERR_PTR returns where
appropriate.
