Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: do not BUG_ON in link_to_fixup_dir

While doing error injection testing I got the following panic

We can get -EIO or any number of legitimate errors from btrfs_search_slot(), panicing here is not the appropriate response. The error path for this code handles errors properly, simply return the error.
