From 226291aa4641fa13cb5dec3bcb3379faa83009e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dann frazier Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:03:09 -0700 Subject: ocfs2_connection_find() returns pointer to bad structure If ocfs2_live_connection_list is empty, ocfs2_connection_find() will return a pointer to the LIST_HEAD, cast as a ocfs2_live_connection. This can cause an oops when ocfs2_control_send_down() dereferences c->oc_conn: Call Trace: [] ocfs2_control_message+0x28c/0x2b0 [ocfs2_stack_user] [] ocfs2_control_write+0x35/0xb0 [ocfs2_stack_user] [] vfs_write+0xb8/0x1a0 [] ? do_page_fault+0x153/0x3b0 [] sys_write+0x51/0x80 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Fix by explicitly returning NULL if no match is found.
