From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2d892ccdc163a3d2e08c5ed1cea8b61bf7e4f531 ] When trying to get a new fs root for a snapshot during the transaction at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(), if btrfs_get_new_fs_root() fails we leave "pending->snap" pointing to an error pointer, and then later at ioctl.c:create_snapshot() we dereference that pointer, resulting in a crash: [12264.614689] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000007c4 [12264.615650] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [12264.616487] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [12264.617436] PGD 0 P4D 0 [12264.618328] Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC PTI [12264.619150] CPU: 0 PID: 2310635 Comm: fsstress Tainted: G W 5.9.0-rc3-btrfs-next-67 #1 [12264.619960] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [12264.621769] RIP: 0010:btrfs_mksubvol+0x438/0x4a0 [btrfs] [12264.622528] Code: bc ef ff ff (...)
