[patch 01/15] zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Weijie Yang <weijie.yang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram page
becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io.  The current code
doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL pointer,
which panics the kernel.

This patch fixes this issue.
