ceph: fix potential NULL dereference issue in ceph_fill_trace()
The Coverity Scan service has detected a potential dereference of
an explicit NULL value in ceph_fill_trace() [1].
The variable in is declared in the beggining of
ceph_fill_trace() [2]:
struct inode *in = NULL;
However, the initialization of the variable is happening under
condition [3]:
if (rinfo->head->is_target) {
<skipped>
in = req->r_target_inode;
<skipped>
}
Potentially, if rinfo->head->is_target == FALSE, then
in variable continues to be NULL and later the dereference of
NULL value could happen in ceph_fill_trace() logic [4,5]:
else if ((req->r_op == CEPH_MDS_OP_LOOKUPSNAP ||
req->r_op == CEPH_MDS_OP_MKSNAP) &&
test_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_PARENT_LOCKED, &req->r_req_flags) &&
!test_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_ABORTED, &req->r_req_flags)) {
<skipped>
ihold(in);
err = splice_dentry(&req->r_dentry, in);
if (err < 0)
goto done;
}
This patch adds the checking of in variable for NULL value
and it returns -EINVAL error code if it has NULL value.
v2
Alex Markuze suggested to add unlikely macro
in the checking condition.
