[PATCH v2 0/2] ntfs: fix index walk NULL deref and WSL symlink leak

[DaeMyung Kang <charsyam@gmail.com>]

v2:
  - 1/2: switch IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to IS_ERR() in the walk_down loop
    (Namjae Jeon).

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260425184243.116396-1-charsyam@gmail.com/

Two independent fixes for the new fs/ntfs/ that landed in v7.1-rc1.

  1/2 fixes a NULL dereference in ntfs_index_walk_down(). When
      kvzalloc() for ictx->ib fails, or ntfs_ib_read() fails mid
      traversal, the function previously returned a state that
      ntfs_index_next() and ntfs_readdir() could not distinguish
      from end-of-directory, and ntfs_ib_read() itself could write
      through a NULL ictx->ib. Errors are now propagated as
      ERR_PTR() through ntfs_index_next() up to ntfs_readdir().
      Reproduced with failslab fault injection on getdents64; the
      reproducer is described in the commit log.

  2/2 fixes a target-string leak in ntfs_reparse_set_wsl_symlink()
      when ntfs_set_ntfs_reparse_data() fails. Also switches the
      kvfree() on the local failure path to kfree() to match the
      kmalloc() done by ntfs_ucstonls().

The two patches are independent and may be applied in any order.
