Subject: ocfs2_connection_find() returns pointer to bad structure
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32.30~66
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=965f6e058a55ca7f2183f53691138d89fbf23eb0;p=karo-tx-linux.git

ocfs2_connection_find() returns pointer to bad structure

commit 226291aa4641fa13cb5dec3bcb3379faa83009e2 upstream.

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:
  [<ffffffffa00c2a3c>] ocfs2_control_message+0x28c/0x2b0 [ocfs2_stack_user]
  [<ffffffffa00c2a95>] ocfs2_control_write+0x35/0xb0 [ocfs2_stack_user]
  [<ffffffff81143a88>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x1a0
  [<ffffffff8155cc13>] ? do_page_fault+0x153/0x3b0
  [<ffffffff811442f1>] sys_write+0x51/0x80
  [<ffffffff810121b2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Fix by explicitly returning NULL if no match is found.
