Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: fix ignored error return in hfsplus_delete_cat
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

hfsplus_delete_cat() calls hfsplus_delete_all_attrs() to remove all
extended attributes associated with a catalog entry, but silently
discards its return value. When the xattr deletion fails due to
filesystem corruption (as in a crafted image reported by syzbot),
hfsplus_delete_cat() returns 0 (success) to hfsplus_unlink().

hfsplus_unlink() then proceeds to call hfsplus_cat_write_inode() on
the inode in a corrupt, half-deleted state. Inside that function, if
HFSPLUS_IS_RSRC() is true but rsrc_inode was never properly set,
main_inode is assigned NULL. The subsequent dereference of
main_inode->i_nlink triggers a general protection fault, caught by
KASAN as a null-ptr-deref at offset 0x28.

Fix this by capturing the return value of hfsplus_delete_all_attrs()
and propagating genuine errors back to the caller. -ENOENT is
excluded since it signals normal loop termination (no more xattrs
left to delete) and is not an error condition.

Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: fix null-ptr-deref in hfsplus_cat_write_inode
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

When a corrupt HFS+ image is mounted where the hidden directory is
absent, hfsplus_fill_super() handles -ENOENT from
hfsplus_get_hidden_dir_entry() silently and continues with
sbi->hidden_dir left as NULL.

hfsplus_link() and hfsplus_unlink() call
hfsplus_cat_write_inode(sbi->hidden_dir) unconditionally without
checking whether hidden_dir is NULL, triggering a general protection
fault caught by KASAN as a null-ptr-deref at offset 0x28.

Other call sites in dir.c already guard against this by checking
hidden_dir for NULL before use. Apply the same guard to the two
unprotected call sites in hfsplus_link() and hfsplus_unlink().
