Subject: [PATCH] drbd: fix null-pointer dereference on local read error
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:39:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220113937.2691322-1-christoph.boehmwalder@linbit.com> (raw)

In drbd_request_endio(), READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR is passed to
__req_mod() with a NULL peer_device:

  __req_mod(req, what, NULL, &m);

The READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR handler then unconditionally passes this
NULL peer_device to drbd_set_out_of_sync(), which dereferences it,
causing a null-pointer dereference.

Fix this by obtaining the peer_device via first_peer_device(device),
matching how drbd_req_destroy() handles the same situation.
