[PATCH v5 2/2] ocfs2: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in ocfs2_set_buffer_uptodate

From: Joseph Qi
Date: Sun Sep 01 2024 - 22:37:10 EST


From: Lizhi Xu <lizhi.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When doing cleanup, if flags without OCFS2_BH_READAHEAD, it may trigger
NULL pointer dereference in the following ocfs2_set_buffer_uptodate() if
bh is NULL.

Reported-and-suggested-by: Heming Zhao <heming.zhao@xxxxxxxx>
Fixes: cf76c78595ca ("ocfs2: don't put and assigning null to bh allocated outside")
