[PATCH 1/2] ext4: Avoid crashing on NULL ptr dereference on a filesystem error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the EOFBLOCK_FL flag is set when it should not be and the inode is
zero length, then eh_entries is zero, and ex is NULL, so dereferencing
ex to print ex->ee_block causes a kernel OOPS in
ext4_ext_map_blocks().

On top of that, the error message which is printed isn't very helpful.
So we fix this by printing something more explanatory which doesn't
involve trying to print ex->ee_block.
