[PATCH] fs/qnx6: set and bh1 and bh2 to NULL after dropping references

From: Pan Bian
Date: Sun Nov 25 2018 - 21:21:47 EST


The function qnx6_fill_super drops the reference to bh2 when superblock
1 is activated via brelse, otherwise it drops the reference to bh1 when
superblock 2 is activated. If error occurs after that, it will try to
drop the references to bh1 and bh2 again. This may result in
use-after-free bugs. The patch sets bh1 and bh2 to NULL after their
reference counts are decreased.
