It is a bug for fscrypt_put_master_key_activeref() to see a NULL keyring. But it used to be possible due to the bug, now fixed, where fscrypt_destroy_keyring() was called before security_sb_delete(). To be consistent with how fscrypt_destroy_keyring() uses WARN_ON for the same issue, WARN and leak the fscrypt_master_key if the keyring is NULL instead of dereferencing the NULL pointer. This is a robustness improvement, not a fix. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230313221231.272498-4-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
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.
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.
