[PATCH] zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()

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

 



The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap().  (We
would allocate a new pool later in that situation.)  So in the error
handling then we need to make sure pool is a valid pointer before
calling "zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function dereferences
the argument.

Fixes: 93d4dfa9fbd0 ("mm/zswap.c: add allocation hysteresis if pool limit is hit")
