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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
