devpts: fix error handling in devpts_mntget()
If devpts_ptmx_path() returns an error code, then devpts_mntget() dereferences an ERR_PTR(): BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff5 IP: devpts_mntget+0x13f/0x280 fs/devpts/inode.c:173 Fix it by returning early in the error paths. Reproducer: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <fcntl.h> #include <sched.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #define TIOCGPTPEER _IO('T', 0x41) int main() { for (;;) { int fd = open("/dev/ptmx", 0); unshare(CLONE_NEWNS); ioctl(fd, TIOCGPTPEER, 0); } } Fixes: 311fc65c9fb9 ("pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.13+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
