Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_reclaim_anon_pages
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2023 17:31:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230908093103.2620512-1-liushixin2@huawei.com> (raw)

The variable sc is NULL pointer in can_reclaim_anon_pages() when called
from zone_reclaimable_pages(). Check it before setting swapcache_only.
