Oh crap, sorry! I had to fix it by hand and I messed up fixing the conflict! I've just dropped the first dio_bio_submit() so that only the conditional one remains now. Thanks for reporting it! Willy --- commit d75e8540fd8bedc8ee8d11941a7aed3a86735c47 Author: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 9 11:13:18 2017 +0200 direct-io: Prevent NULL pointer access in submit_page_section commit 899f0429c7d3eed886406cd72182bee3b96aa1f9 upstream. In the code added to function submit_page_section by commit b1058b981, sdio->bio can currently be NULL when calling dio_bio_submit. This then leads to a NULL pointer access in dio_bio_submit, so check for a NULL bio in submit_page_section before trying to submit it instead. Fixes xfstest generic/250 on gfs2.
