[PATCH 4.19 200/271] pnfs/flexfiles: Fix PTR_ERR() dereferences in ff_layout_track_ds_error

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jul 25 2019 - 11:02:24 EST


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8e04fdfadda75a849c649f7e50fe7d97772e1fcb upstream.

mirror->mirror_ds can be NULL if uninitialised, but can contain
a PTR_ERR() if call to GETDEVICEINFO failed.

Fixes: 65990d1afbd2 ("pNFS/flexfiles: Fix a deadlock on LAYOUTGET")
