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

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.
