[PATCH] mm: swapfile: avoid split_swap_cluster() NULL pointer dereference
From: Rafael Aquini
Date: Tue Sep 22 2020 - 14:48:54 EST
The swap area descriptor only gets struct swap_cluster_info *cluster_info
allocated if the swapfile is backed by non-rotational storage.
When the swap area is laid on top of ordinary disk spindles, lock_cluster()
will naturally return NULL.
CONFIG_THP_SWAP exposes cluster_info infrastructure to a broader number of
use cases, and split_swap_cluster(), which is the counterpart of split_huge_page()
for the THPs in the swapcache, misses checking the return of lock_cluster before
operating on the cluster_info pointer.
This patch addresses that issue by adding a proper check for the pointer
not being NULL in the wrappers cluster_{is,clear}_huge(), in order to avoid
crashes similar to the one below:
