| |
i'm currently tracking a bug in VFS. (Please HELP-thread).
My first impression is that: 1) sys_lseek() is called 2) file->f_dentry == NULL, i.e. goto out_putf 3) out_putf: fput(file); 4) fput: calls locks_remove_flock(file) 5) locks_remove_flock(file): dereferences file->f_dentry->d_inode --> NULL pointer access.
My question(s): a) when is file->f_dentry==NULL? b) what should locks_remove_flock() do if file->f_dentry ==NULL?
