* [PATCH] fs: xfs: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling()

In xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling(), there is an if statement on 
line 274 to check whether ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL:
    if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)

When ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL, it is used on line 281: 
    xfs_trans_brelse(..., ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
        struct xfs_buf_log_item	*bip = bp->b_log_item;
        ASSERT(bp->b_transp == tp);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is checked before
being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Indentation here (in xfs we use two spaces)

Also, uh, shouldn't we set ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp to NULL
since we've released the buffer?

Okay, I will fix this.

So I should set ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp to NULL at the end of 
the function xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling()?
Like:
     if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)
         xfs_trans_brelse(ds->dargs.trans,
                 ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
     ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp = NULL;


Best wishes,
Jia-Ju Bai

You could put the whole thing in a single if clause, e.g.

	if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp) {
		xfs_trans_brelse(ds->dargs.trans,
				 ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
		ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp = NULL;
	}
