Subject: vfs: fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e3892296de632e3f9299d9fabe0c746740004891;p=linux-beck.git

vfs: fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list()

Fix NULL pointer dereference in fsync_buffers_list() introduced by recent fix
of races in private_list handling.  Since bh->b_assoc_map has been cleared in
__remove_assoc_queue() we should really use original value stored in the
'mapping' variable.
