[PATCH] maple_tree: Fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Mon Apr 22 2024 - 16:35:00 EST


Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the
maple state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state
node == NULL. This will lead to a null pointer dereference when
checking information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end().

Avoid setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the
maple state is checked for an empty or single entry state.

A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all
vmas to produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause
the scenario described above.
