From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3e4272b9954094907f16861199728f14002fcaf6 ] In a previous commit 7433632c9ff6, buffer, buffer->buffers and buffer->buffers[cpu] in ring_buffer_wake_waiters() can be NULL, and thus the related checks are added. However, in the same call stack, these variables are also used in ring_buffer_free_read_page(): tracing_buffers_release() ring_buffer_wake_waiters(iter->array_buffer->buffer) cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> Add checks by previous commit ring_buffer_free_read_page(iter->array_buffer->buffer) cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> No check Thus, to avod possible null-pointer derefernces, the related checks should be added. These results are reported by a static tool designed by myself.
