Subject: [PATCH RESEND] ext4: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences in test_mb_mark_used() and test_mb_free_blocks()
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2025 00:00:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313000021.18170-1-qasdev00@gmail.com> (raw)
test_mb_mark_used() and test_mb_free_blocks() call kunit_kzalloc() to
allocate memory, however both fail to ensure that the allocations
succeeded. If kunit_kzalloc() returns NULL, then dereferencing the
corresponding pointer without checking for NULL will lead to
a NULL pointer dereference.
To fix this call KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL() to ensure
the allocation succeeded.
Fixes: ac96b56a2fbd ("ext4: Add unit test for mb_mark_used")
Fixes: b7098e1fa7bc ("ext4: Add unit test for mb_free_blocks")
