From a95104fd3393080e8bcca348f51996f5f0f5ccb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:01:18 +0000 Subject: Infiniband: Fix potential NULL d_inode dereference Code that does this: if (!(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode)) { ... simple_unlink(parent->d_inode, tmp); } is broken because: !(d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode) is equivalent to: !d_unhashed(tmp) || !tmp->d_inode so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with tmp->d_inode == NULL. simple_unlink(), however, assumes tmp->d_inode cannot be NULL. I think that what was meant is this: !d_unhashed(tmp) && tmp->d_inode and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.
