Subject: ext4: check bh in ext4_read_block_bitmap()
Validate the bh pointer before using it, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might return NULL.
I've seen this in fsfuzz testing.
EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch: Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
