[PATCH] e2fsprogs: make ext2fs_free() to set the pointer to NULL

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

 



Currently someone uses ext2fs_free() to free the ext2_filsys structure,
he is also responsible to set the pointer to that structure to NULL,
because ext2fs_free() is not able to do that.

This however is in contrast with ext2fs_free_mem() which requires as an
argument pointer to the pointer and it will in fact set the pointer to
NULL for us. This is probably the reason why majority of places where we
use ext2fs_free() does not set the pointer to NULL afterwards.

Fix this by changing function ext2fs_free() so that it'll require
pointer to the ext2_filsys as an argument and will be able to set the
pointer to NULL for us.

I do not currently have any way to trigger the issue in recent
e2fsprogs. Part of the reason is that there are some fixes which just
obfuscates the real problem (for example
7ff040f30f0ff3bf5e2c832da3cb577e00a52d60) and the other part might be
just coincidence.

I was however able to reproduce this with e2fsprogs 1.42.9 using the
image in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997982. With
this patch it fixes it. However I am not sure why it got fixed in the
recent e2fsprogs since git bisect lands into the merge commit - however
I think it's just a coincidence rather than targeted fix.
