From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 583fee3e12df0e6f1f66f063b989d8e7fed0e65a ] In ocfs2_write_end_nolock(), there are an if statement on lines 1976, 2047 and 2058, to check whether handle is NULL: if (handle) When handle is NULL, it is used on line 2045: ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans(handle, inode, 1); oi->i_sync_tid = handle->h_transaction->t_tid; Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this bug, handle is checked before calling ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans(). This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
