Subject: [PATCH 5.7 09/14] kernel/relay.c: handle alloc_percpu returning NULL in relay_open

From: Daniel Axtens <dja@...ens.net>

commit 54e200ab40fc14c863bcc80a51e20b7906608fce upstream.

alloc_percpu() may return NULL, which means chan->buf may be set to NULL.
In that case, when we do *per_cpu_ptr(chan->buf, ...), we dereference an
invalid pointer:

  BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0x7dae0000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003f3fec
  ...
  NIP relay_open+0x29c/0x600
  LR relay_open+0x270/0x600
  Call Trace:
     relay_open+0x264/0x600 (unreliable)
     __blk_trace_setup+0x254/0x600
     blk_trace_setup+0x68/0xa0
     sg_ioctl+0x7bc/0x2e80
     do_vfs_ioctl+0x13c/0x1300
     ksys_ioctl+0x94/0x130
     sys_ioctl+0x48/0xb0
     system_call+0x5c/0x68

Check if alloc_percpu returns NULL.

This was found by syzkaller both on x86 and powerpc, and the reproducer
it found on powerpc is capable of hitting the issue as an unprivileged
user.

Fixes: 017c59c042d0 ("relay: Use per CPU constructs for the relay channel buffer pointers")
