Subject: [PATCH] Infiniband: Fix potential NULL d_inode dereference
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:01:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150127150118.24110.99894.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
Code that does this:
if (!(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode)) {
...
simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, tmp);
}
is broken because:
!(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode)
is equivalent to:
!d_unhashed(tmp) || !tmp->d_inode
so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with tmp->d_inode == NULL.
simple_unlink(), however, assumes tmp->d_inode cannot be NULL.
I think that what was meant is this:
!d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode
and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.
