4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fc14eebfc20854a38fd9f1d93a42b1783dad4d17 upstream. syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at snapshot_write() [1]. This is because data->handle is zero-cleared by ioctl(SNAPSHOT_FREE). Fix this by checking data_of(data->handle) != NULL before using it.
