Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fs: ocfs2: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in ocfs2_write_end_nolock()
Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2019 11:37:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190726033705.32307-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)

In ocfs2_write_end_nolock(), there are an if statement on lines 1976, 
2047 and 2058, to check whether handle is NULL:
    if (handle)

When handle is NULL, it is used on line 2045:
	ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans(handle, inode, 1);
        oi->i_sync_tid = handle->h_transaction->t_tid;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, handle is checked before calling
ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
