From f52c88e8e124f72eca2dc700c476b2b38f288f28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Yu Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:25:42 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: avoid to access NULL pointer when write metadata in xattr commit 35425ea2492175fd39f6116481fe98b2b3ddd4ca upstream. Christopher Head 2014-06-28 05:26:20 UTC described: "I tried to reproduce this on 3.12.21. Instead, when I do "echo hello > foo" in an ecryptfs mount with ecryptfs_xattr specified, I get a kernel crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] fsstack_copy_attr_all+0x2/0x61 PGD d7840067 PUD b2c3c067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: nvidia(PO) CPU: 3 PID: 3566 Comm: bash Tainted: P O 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 #2 Hardware name: ASUSTek Computer Inc.

So we should skip copying attr from lower inode when the value of ->d_inode is invalid.
