Subject: staging: lustre: fix error deref in ll_splice_alias().
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d6e65bedf5878c8dd5b089d3f034b619bbb8a77;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

staging: lustre: fix error deref in ll_splice_alias().

d_splice_alias() can return an ERR_PTR().
If it does while debugging is enabled, the following
CDEBUG() will dereference that error and crash.

So add appropriate checking, and provide a separate
debug message for the error case.
