The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outside has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ocfs2-dont-put-and-assigning-null-to-bh-allocated-outside.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ocfs2-dont-put-and-assigning-null-to-bh-allocated-outside.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ocfs2-dont-put-and-assigning-null-to-bh-allocated-outside.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Changwei Ge <ge.changwei@xxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outside ocfs2_read_blocks() and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() are both used to read several blocks from disk. Currently, the input argument *bhs* can be NULL or NOT. It depends on the caller's behavior. If the function fails in reading blocks from disk, the corresponding bh will be assigned to NULL and put. Obviously, above process for non-NULL input bh is not appropriate. Because the caller doesn't even know its bhs are put and re-assigned. If buffer head is managed by caller, ocfs2_read_blocks and ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() should not evaluate it to NULL. It will cause caller accessing illegal memory, thus crash.
