Subject: [PATCH v2] Btrfs: fix null pointer dereference on compressed write path error
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:37:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181012233725.27290-1-fdmanana@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181012204544.27137-1-fdmanana@kernel.org>

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

At inode.c:compress_file_range(), under the "free_pages_out" label, we can
end up dereferencing the "pages" pointer when it has a NULL value. This
case happens when "start" has a value of 0 and we fail to allocate memory
for the "pages" pointer. When that happens we jump to the "cont" label and
then enter the "if (start == 0)" branch where we immediately call the
cow_file_range_inline() function. If that function returns 0 (success
creating an inline extent) or an error (like -ENOMEM for example) we jump
to the "free_pages_out" label and then access "pages[i]" leading to a NULL
pointer dereference, since "nr_pages" has a value greater than zero at
that point.

Fix this by setting "nr_pages" to 0 when we fail to allocate memory for
the "pages" pointer.
