From: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c4c613ff08d92e72bf64a65ec35a2c3aa1cfcd06 ] The afs_lookup trace event can cause the following: [ 216.576777] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000023b [ 216.576803] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 216.576813] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page ... [ 216.576913] RIP: 0010:trace_event_raw_event_afs_lookup+0x9e/0x1c0 [kafs] If the inode from afs_do_lookup() is an error other than ENOENT, or if it is ENOENT and afs_try_auto_mntpt() returns an error, the trace event will try to dereference the error pointer as a valid pointer. Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL to only pass a valid pointer for the trace, or NULL. Ideally the trace would include the error value, but for now just avoid the oops.
