Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: fix null pointer bug in move_extent.c
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2009 19:43:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1249213404-6277-2-git-send-email-bergwolf@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1249213404-6277-1-git-send-email-bergwolf@gmail.com>
In mext_replace_branches(), the oext and dext virable might be NULL if the
orig extent and donor extent are empty. Later calling *oext and *dext will
trigger a kernel null pointer bug like this:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<ffffffffa0636563>] mext_replace_branches+0x10c/0x2f3 [ext4]
PGD 37dba067 PUD cd8ac067 PMD 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
The patch checks the two virables and returns EOPNOTSUPP if either of them
is NULL.
