Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs3: prevent potential lcn remains uninitialized
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 16:08:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_76C985EEDDAEE04C8627DE86D9D2DC467906@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6a150a09.820a0220.e7972.0005.GAE@google.com>

The target VCN being sought was not found within runs[0], causing
run_lookup() to return false. This causes run_lookup_entry() to return
false, which in turn results in a len value of 0, and the new parameter
passed to attr_data_get_block() is NULL. Collectively, these factors
ultimately cause attr_data_get_block_locked() to exit prematurely without
initializing lcn, thereby triggering [1].

To prevent [1], the clen check within ni_seek_data_or_hole() has been
moved to occur before the lcn check.
