[ Upstream commit 2c1cf00eeacb784781cf1c9896b8af001246d339 ] If create_buf_file() returns an error, don't try to reference it later as a valid dentry pointer. This problem was exposed when debugfs started to return errors instead of just NULL for some calls when they do not succeed properly. Also, the check for WARN_ON(dentry) was just wrong :) Reported-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+16c3a70e1e9b29346c43@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Fixes: ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values, not NULL") Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
