It's a micro optimization. On most platforms CPUs has instructions to
compare with 0 fast. DB_SUCCESS is the most popular outcome of functions
and this patch optimized code like (err == DB_SUCCESS)
BtrBulk::finish(): bogus assertion fixed
fil_node_t::read_page0(): corrected usage of os_file_read()
que_eval_sql(): bugus assertion removed. Apparently it checked that
the field was assigned after having been zero-initialized at
object creation.
It turns out that the return type of os_file_read_func() was changed
in mysql/mysql-server@98909cefbc (MySQL 5.7)
from ibool to dberr_t. The reviewer (if there was any) failed to
point out that because of future merges, it could be a bad idea to
change the return type of a function without changing the function name.
This change was applied to MariaDB 10.2.2 in
commit 2e814d4702 but the
MariaDB-specific code was not fully adjusted accordingly,
e.g. in fil_node_open_file(). Essentially, code like
!os_file_read(...) became dead code in MariaDB and later
in Mariabackup 10.2, and we could be dealing with an uninitialized
buffer after a failed page read.
MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.

As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
