Hi Jia-ju,

Could you please point out how ->w_handle can be NULL if we are changing disk inode?

I just checked the ocfs2 code but can't find any clue ...

In my opinion, it's impossible to change disk inode without an existed journal transaction. If truly so, it's a another problem.


Thanks,

Changwei

In ocfs2_write_end_nolock(), there are an if statement on lines 1976,
2047 and 2058, to check whether handle is NULL:
     if (handle)

When handle is NULL, it is used on line 2045:
        ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans(handle, inode, 1);
         oi->i_sync_tid = handle->h_transaction->t_tid;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, handle is checked before calling
ocfs2_update_inode_fsync_trans().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
