If devpts_ptmx_path() returns an error code, then devpts_mntget()
dereferences an ERR_PTR():
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at
fffffffffffffff5
IP: devpts_mntget+0x13f/0x280 fs/devpts/inode.c:173
Fix it by returning early in the error paths.
Reproducer:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#define TIOCGPTPEER _IO('T', 0x41)
int main()
{
for (;;) {
int fd = open("/dev/ptmx", 0);
unshare(CLONE_NEWNS);
ioctl(fd, TIOCGPTPEER, 0);
}
}
