[patch 4/5] mm: validate inode in mapping_set_error()

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

Subject: mm: validate inode in mapping_set_error()

The swap address_space doesn't have host. Thus, it makes kernel crash once
swap write meets error. Fix it.

Fixes: 735e4ae5ba28 ("vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs")
