Subject: [PATCH V2] x86/mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in kernel_page_present()
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2025 23:28:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250111175808.48744-1-tanyaagarwal25699@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Tanya Agarwal <tanyaagarwal25699@gmail.com>
The static code analysis tool "Coverity Scan" pointed the following
details out for further development considerations:
CID 1271215: Dereference null return value (NULL_RETURNS)
dereference: Dereferencing pte, which is known to be NULL.
Conclusion:
Add WARN_ON_ONCE() and NULL check for pte before dereferencing it.
Fixes: 8a235efad548 ("Hibernation: Handle DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on x86")
Signed-off-by: Tanya Agarwal <tanyaagarwal25699@gmail.com>
