If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fe46b1dc2a17a2bf0917ebda81c867957f1909ff Author: Li Nan <linan122@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat May 27 15:22:15 2023 +0800 md/raid10: fix null-ptr-deref of mreplace in raid10_sync_request [ Upstream commit 34817a2441747b48e444cb0e05d84e14bc9443da ] There are two check of 'mreplace' in raid10_sync_request(). In the first check, 'need_replace' will be set and 'mreplace' will be used later if no-Faulty 'mreplace' exists, In the second check, 'mreplace' will be set to NULL if it is Faulty, but 'need_replace' will not be changed accordingly. null-ptr-deref occurs if Faulty is set between two check. Fix it by merging two checks into one. And replace 'need_replace' with 'mreplace' because their values are always the same.
