commit 3a1407559a593d4360af12dd2df5296bf8eb0d28 When stacking request-based DM on blk_mq device, request cloning and remapping are done in a single call to target's clone_and_map_rq(). The clone is allocated and valid only if clone_and_map_rq() returns DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED. The "IS_ERR(clone)" check in map_request() does not cover all the !DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED cases that are possible (E.g. if underlying devices are not ready or unavailable, clone_and_map_rq() may return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE without ever having established an ERR_PTR). Fix this by explicitly checking for a return that is not DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED in map_request(). Without this fix, DM core may call setup_clone() for a NULL clone and oops like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068 IP: [<ffffffff81227525>] blk_rq_prep_clone+0x7d/0x137 ...
