From d0285dfbc3b46f41395b26ee2f4a16d99fb3e736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Weiss Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 12:47:01 +0300 Subject: btrfs: send: fix lost error return value in will_overwrite_ref() The direct-return refactoring in commit b3047a42f55d ("btrfs: send: directly return from will_overwrite_ref() and simplify it") changed will_overwrite_ref() to return directly instead of going through the common out label. That resulted in a negative return value from is_inode_existent() to start being converted to 0, making lookup errors unable to be distinguished from the inode not existing. process_recorded_refs() expects negative errors from will_overwrite_ref() and aborts processing when it receives one. Return the value from is_inode_existent() to restore the previous error propagation behavior as it was before the refactor.
