From 7e86600606cef21beec725039d70377fb364f881 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eryu Guan Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 15:58:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/binfmt_misc.c: node could be NULL when evicting inode inode->i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference when evicting such an inode. e.g. mount binfmt_misc filesystem then umount it immediately: mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc will result in BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000013 IP: bm_evict_inode+0x16/0x40 [binfmt_misc] ...
