In remove_from_transaction(), there is an if statement on line 3447 to check whether bh is NULL: if (bh) When bh is NULL, it is used on line 3450: clear_buffer_journaled(bh); and lines 3453-3456: clear_buffer_journal_dirty(bh); clear_buffer_dirty(bh); clear_buffer_journal_test(bh); put_bh(bh); Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these bugs, bh is checked before being used. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
