From cddfa648f1ab99e30e91455be19cd5ade26338c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ethan Tidmore Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 21:38:25 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: Fix error pointer dereference The function try_lookup_noperm() can return an error pointer and is not checked for one. Add checks for error pointer in xrep_adoption_check_dcache() and xrep_adoption_zap_dcache().
