Subject: hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in trace_hugetlbfs_alloc_inode
Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2025 11:31:17 +0800
hugetlb_file_setup() will pass a NULL @dir to hugetlbfs_get_inode(), so we
will access a NULL pointer for @dir. Fix it and set __entry->dr to 0 if
@dir is NULL. Because ->i_ino cannot be 0 (see get_next_ino()), there is
no confusing if user sees a 0 inode number.
