[PATCH 6/7] dm-verity: correctly handle dm_bufio_client_create() failure
Posted by Eric Biggers 2 days ago
If either of the calls to dm_bufio_client_create() in verity_fec_ctr()
fails, then dm_bufio_client_destroy() is later called with an ERR_PTR()
argument.  That causes a crash.  Fix this.

Fixes: a739ff3f543a ("dm verity: add support for forward error correction")
