Hi All,

+CC Kees Cook (reviewer),

I hit this since few days as well. Although the bisect points to the
merge, the issue looks like a result of mentioned commit 4d03e3cc5982
("fs: don't allow kernel reads and writes without iter ops").

The __kernel_read() last argument 'pos' can be NULL and it is
dereferenced here (added by the commit):

 525 ssize_t __kernel_write(struct file *file, const void *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos)
...
 547         kiocb.ki_pos = *pos;
 548         iov_iter_kvec(&iter, WRITE, &iov, 1, iov.iov_len);


The __kernel_read() is called with NULL in fs/autofs/waitq.c:

 45 static int autofs_write(struct autofs_sb_info *sbi,
 46                         struct file *file, const void *addr, int bytes)

...
 54         mutex_lock(&sbi->pipe_mutex);
 55         while (bytes) {
 56                 wr = __kernel_write(file, data, bytes, NULL);

Best regards,
Krzysztof
