commit 1d8ba9e7e785b6625f4d8e978e8a284b144a7077 upstream.
[BUG]
When running btrfs/071 with inode_need_compress() removed from
compress_file_range(), we got the following crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

This is already after the patch "btrfs: inode: fix NULL pointer
dereference if inode doesn't need compression."
[CAUSE]
@pages is firstly created by kcalloc() in compress_file_extent():
pages = kcalloc(nr_pages, sizeof(struct page *), GFP_NOFS);
Then passed to btrfs_compress_pages() to be utilized there:
ret = btrfs_compress_pages(...
pages,
&nr_pages,
...);
btrfs_compress_pages() will initialize each page as output, in
zlib_compress_pages() we have:
pages[nr_pages] = out_page;
nr_pages++;
Normally this is completely fine, but there is a special case which
is in btrfs_compress_pages() itself:
switch (type) {
default:
return -E2BIG;
}
In this case, we didn't modify @pages nor @out_pages, leaving them
untouched, then when we cleanup pages, the we can hit NULL pointer
dereference again:
if (pages) {
for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) {
WARN_ON(pages[i]->mapping);
put_page(pages[i]);
}
...
}
Since pages[i] are all initialized to zero, and btrfs_compress_pages()
doesn't change them at all, accessing pages[i]->mapping would lead to
NULL pointer dereference.
This is not possible for current kernel, as we check
inode_need_compress() before doing pages allocation.
But if we're going to remove that inode_need_compress() in
compress_file_extent(), then it's going to be a problem.
[FIX]
When btrfs_compress_pages() hits its default case, modify @out_pages to
0 to prevent such problem from happening.
