Subject: [PATCH v2] PM: hibernate: Fix crash when freeing invalid crypto compressor
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 17:26:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251230115613.64080-1-mrout@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAJZ5v0hn1E=tWVoG7nKsD3_KGygkaGpeSoQ4JsMaJNgugT_Tnw@mail.gmail.com>
When crypto_alloc_acomp() fails, it returns an ERR_PTR value, not NULL.
The cleanup code in save_compressed_image() and load_compressed_image()
unconditionally calls crypto_free_acomp() without checking for ERR_PTR,
which causes crypto_acomp_tfm() to dereference an invalid pointer and
crash the kernel.
This can be triggered when the compression algorithm is unavailable
(e.g., CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZO not enabled).
Fix by adding IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checks before calling crypto_free_acomp()
and acomp_request_free(), similar to the existing kthread_stop() check.
Fixes: b03d542c3c95 ("PM: hibernate: Use crypto_acomp interface")
