4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b2b7d986a89b6c94b1331a909de1217214fb08c1 ] pti_user_pagetable_walk_p4d() can return NULL, so the return value should be checked to prevent a NULL pointer dereference. Add the check and a warning when the P4D allocation fails.
