[PATCH 4.19 02/24] block: fix NULL pointer dereference in register_disk

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 10:57:08 EST


From: zhengbin <zhengbin13@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4d7c1d3fd7c7eda7dea351f071945e843a46c145 upstream.

If __device_add_disk-->bdi_register_owner-->bdi_register-->
bdi_register_va-->device_create_vargs fails, bdi->dev is still
NULL, __device_add_disk-->register_disk will visit bdi->dev->kobj.
This patch fixes that.
