[ 187/187] ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in __ocfs2_change_file_space()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a4e08d001f2e50bb8b3c4eebadcf08e5535f02ee upstream.

As ocfs2_fallocate() will invoke __ocfs2_change_file_space() with a NULL
as the first parameter (file), it may trigger a NULL pointer dereferrence
due to a missing check.
