    Subject[PATCH 4.19 345/361] Btrfs: fix null pointer dereference on compressed write path error
    Date
    4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

    commit 3527a018c00e5dbada2f9d7ed5576437b6dd5cfb upstream.

    At inode.c:compress_file_range(), under the "free_pages_out" label, we can
    end up dereferencing the "pages" pointer when it has a NULL value. This
    case happens when "start" has a value of 0 and we fail to allocate memory
    for the "pages" pointer. When that happens we jump to the "cont" label and
    then enter the "if (start == 0)" branch where we immediately call the
    cow_file_range_inline() function. If that function returns 0 (success
    creating an inline extent) or an error (like -ENOMEM for example) we jump
    to the "free_pages_out" label and then access "pages[i]" leading to a NULL
    pointer dereference, since "nr_pages" has a value greater than zero at
    that point.

    Fix this by setting "nr_pages" to 0 when we fail to allocate memory for
    the "pages" pointer.
