Subject: bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR
From: Markus Weippert <markus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bb6cc253861bd5a7cf8439e2118659696df9619f upstream.
Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR. This leads to a
NULL pointer dereference.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000080

The relevant code starts with:
new_nodes[0] = NULL;
for (i = 0; i < nodes; i++) {
if (__bch_keylist_realloc(&keylist, bkey_u64s(&r[i].b->key)))
goto out_nocoalesce;
// ...
out_nocoalesce:
// ...
for (i = 0; i < nodes; i++)
if (!IS_ERR(new_nodes[i])) { // IS_ERR_OR_NULL before
028ddcac477b
btree_node_free(new_nodes[i]); // new_nodes[0] is NULL
rw_unlock(true, new_nodes[i]);
}
This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.
