[PATCH] ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference while journal is aborted

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

 



We see the following NULL pointer dereference while running xfstests
generic/475:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
PGD 8000000c84bad067 P4D 8000000c84bad067 PUD c84e62067 PMD 0

This is triggered because the NULL pointer handle->h_transaction was
dereferenced in function ext4_update_inode_fsync_trans().
I found that the h_transaction was set to NULL in jbd2__journal_restart
but failed to attached to a new transaction while the journal is aborted.

Fix this by checking the handle before updating the inode.
