Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH 4.19 STABLE] mm: fix dereference a null pointer in migrate[_huge]_page_move_mapping()
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2022 19:54:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220217115416.55835-1-liqiong@nfschina.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220217063808.42018-1-liqiong@nfschina.com>

Upstream doesn't use radix tree any more in migrate.c, no need this patch.

The two functions look up a slot and dereference the pointer,
If the pointer is null, the kernel would crash and dump.

The 'numad' service calls 'migrate_pages' periodically. If some slots
being replaced (Cache Eviction), the radix_tree_lookup_slot() returns
a null pointer that causes kernel crash.

"numad":  crash> bt
[exception RIP: migrate_page_move_mapping+337]

Introduce pointer checking to avoid dereference a null pointer.
