From 15b49132fc972c63894592f218ea5a9a61b1a18f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eryu Guan Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:33:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: check bh in ext4_read_block_bitmap() Validate the bh pointer before using it, since ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait() might return NULL. I've seen this in fsfuzz testing. EXT4-fs error (device loop0): ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait:385: comm touch: Cannot get buffer for block bitmap - block_group = 0, block_bitmap = 3925999616 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] ext4_wait_block_bitmap+0x25/0xe0 ...
