[PATCH 5.10 342/717] block/rnbd: fix a null pointer dereference on dev->blk_symlink_name
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 28 2020 - 09:54:38 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 733c15bd3a944b8eeaacdddf061759b6a83dd3f4 ]
Currently in the case where dev->blk_symlink_name fails to be allocates
the error return path attempts to set an end-of-string character to
the unallocated dev->blk_symlink_name causing a null pointer dereference
error. Fix this by returning with an explicity ENOMEM error (which also
is missing in the original code as was not initialized).
Fixes: 1eb54f8f5dd8 ("block/rnbd: client: sysfs interface functions")
