From 8248b61b86fb5ff2980de57ead707bbd28c78ea3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2021 19:18:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ceph: fix dereference of null pointer cf commit 05a444d3f90a3c3e6362e88a1bf13e1a60f8cace upstream. Currently in the case where kmem_cache_alloc fails the null pointer cf is dereferenced when assigning cf->is_capsnap = false. Fix this by adding a null pointer check and return path.
