Subject: [PATCH v2] net: ceph: make free_choose_arg_map() resilient to partial allocation
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 02:11:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251220181149.46699-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)

free_choose_arg_map() may dereference a NULL pointer if its caller fails
after a partial allocation.

For example, in decode_choose_args(), if allocation of arg_map->args
fails, execution jumps to the fail label and free_choose_arg_map() is
called. Since arg_map->size is updated to a non-zero value before memory
allocation, free_choose_arg_map() will iterate over arg_map->args and
dereference a NULL pointer.

To prevent this potential NULL pointer dereference and make
free_choose_arg_map() more resilient, add checks for pointers before
iterating.

v2:
* Add pointer checks before iterating in free_choose_arg_map(), instead of
  moving the arg_map->size assignment in decode_choose_args().
  Thanks to Viacheslav Dubeyko for pointing out the issue with the previous
  patch, and to Ilya Dryomov for the helpful advice.
