Subject: [PATCH] fs: jfs: fix possible NULL pointer dereference in dbFree()
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 18:08:56 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220411100856.693326-1-r33s3n6@gmail.com> (raw)

In our fault-injection testing, the variable "nblocks" in dbFree() can be
zero when kmalloc_array() fails in dtSearch(). In this case, the variable
 "mp" in dbFree() would be NULL and then it is dereferenced in 
"write_metapage(mp)".

The failure log is listed as follows:

[   13.824137] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020

This patch adds a NULL check of "mp" before "write_metapage(mp)" is called.
