In xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling(), there is an if statement on
line 274 to check whether ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL:
     if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)

When ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL, it is used on line 281:
     xfs_trans_brelse(..., ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
         struct xfs_buf_log_item	*bip = bp->b_log_item;
         ASSERT(bp->b_transp == tp);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is checked before
being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Indentation here (in xfs we use two spaces)

Okay, I will fix this.


Also, uh, shouldn't we set ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp to NULL
since we've released the buffer?

So I should set ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp to NULL at the end of the function xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling()?
Like:
    if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)
        xfs_trans_brelse(ds->dargs.trans,
                ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
    ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp = NULL;
