Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] NFSD: Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in fh_getattr()
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 09:52:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008135230.2629-3-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251008135230.2629-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
In general, fh_getattr() can be called after the target dentry has
gone negative. For a negative dentry, d_inode(p.dentry) will return
NULL. S_ISREG() will dereference that pointer.
Avoid this potential regression by using the d_is_reg() helper
instead.
