[ Upstream commitbb288d7d86] The ':=' override path in xbc_parse_kv() calls xbc_init_node() to re-initialize an existing value node but does not check the return value. If xbc_init_node() fails (data offset out of range), parsing silently continues with stale node data. Add the missing error check to match the xbc_add_node() call path which already checks for failure. In practice, a bootconfig using ':=' to override a value near the 32KB data limit could silently retain the old value, meaning a security-relevant boot parameter override (e.g., a trace filter or debug setting) would not take effect as intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
