Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2018 08:49:48 +0300 From: Vasily Averin <vvs@...tuozzo.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>, Andreas Dilger <adilger.kernel@...ger.ca> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v3] ext4: missing !bh check in ext4_xattr_inode_write() According to Ted Ts'o ext4_getblk() called in ext4_xattr_inode_write() should not return bh = NULL The only time that bh could be NULL, then, would be in the case of something really going wrong; a programming error elsewhere (perhaps a wild pointer dereference) or I/O error causing on-disk file system corruption (although that would be highly unlikely given that we had *just* allocated the blocks and so the metadata blocks in question probably would still be in the cache).
