[PATCH 01/24] mm/swap: fix a potential undefined behavior issue

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

 



From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When folio is NULL, taking the address of its struct member is an
undefined behavior, the UB is caused by applying -> operator
to a pointer not pointing to any object. Although in practice this
won't lead to a real issue, still better to fix it, also makes the
code less error-prone, when folio is NULL, page is also NULL,
instead of a meanless offset value.
