From a41b816c174409417d91b4ceef0145c9f0bef67c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Qi Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 11:36:14 +0800 Subject: blk-throttle: fix NULL pointer dereference in throtl_schedule_pending_timer I have encountered a NULL pointer dereference in throtl_schedule_pending_timer: [ 413.735396] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038 [ 413.735535] IP: [] throtl_schedule_pending_timer+0x3f/0x210 [ 413.735643] PGD 22c8cf067 PUD 22cb34067 PMD 0 [ 413.735713] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ...... This is caused by the following case: blk_throtl_bio throtl_schedule_next_dispatch <= sq is top level one without parent throtl_schedule_pending_timer sq_to_tg(sq)->td->throtl_slice <= sq_to_tg(sq) returns NULL Fix it by using sq_to_td instead of sq_to_tg(sq)->td, which will always return a valid td.
