Well here's what's busted:
if (bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero)
return bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero(bitmap, start, end, out);
if (!bitmap || !EXT2FS_IS_64_BITMAP(bitmap) || bitmap->cluster_bits)
return EINVAL;
bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero only exists for a 64-bit bitmap, which
gets tested after we try to deref it :(
I wonder if this fixes it:
diff --git a/lib/ext2fs/gen_bitmap64.c b/lib/ext2fs/gen_bitmap64.c
index b57df54..ce6c23d 100644
--- a/lib/ext2fs/gen_bitmap64.c
+++ b/lib/ext2fs/gen_bitmap64.c
@@ -768,7 +768,7 @@ errcode_t ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(ext2fs_generic_bitmap bitmap,
{
int b;
- if (bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero)
+ if (EXT2FS_IS_64_BITMAP(bitmap) && bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero)
return bitmap->bitmap_ops->find_first_zero(bitmap, start, end, out);
if (!bitmap || !EXT2FS_IS_64_BITMAP(bitmap) || bitmap->cluster_bits)
But then the next conditional would give us EINVAL since !EXT2FS_IS_64_BITMAP,
and I don't think things would go well after that either.
I am a little confused by the existence of two different
struct ext2fs_struct_generic_bitmap's in the code. But treating one as the
other looks doomed to failure ;)
I haven't wrapped my head around this yet.
