Btrfs: Check for NULL page in extent_range_uptodate
A user has encountered a NULL pointer kernel oops in btrfs when
encountering media errors. The problem has been identified
as an unhandled NULL pointer returned from find_get_page().
This modification simply checks for a NULL page, and returns
with an error if found (the extent_range_uptodate() function
returns 1 on errors).
After testing this patch, the user reported that the error with
the NULL pointer oops was solved. However, there is still a
remaining problem with a thread becoming stuck in
wait_on_page_locked(page) in the read_extent_buffer_pages(...)
function in extent_io.c
for (i = start_i; i < num_pages; i++) {
page = extent_buffer_page(eb, i);
wait_on_page_locked(page);
if (!PageUptodate(page))
ret = -EIO;
}
This patch leaves the issue with the locked page yet to be resolved.
