blk-mq: fix null pointer dereference in blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping()
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: fix null pointer dereference in blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping()
Our syzkaller report a null pointer dereference, root cause is following:
__blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs blk_mq_alloc_rqs // failed due to oom alloc_pages_node // set->tags[hctx_idx] is still NULL blk_mq_free_rqs drv_tags = set->tags[hctx_idx]; // null pointer dereference is triggered blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping(drv_tags, ...)
This is because commit 63064be150e4 ("blk-mq: Add blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs()") merged the two steps:
1) set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_rq_map() 2) blk_mq_alloc_rqs(..., set->tags[hctx_idx])
into one step:
set->tags[hctx_idx] = blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs()
Since tags is not initialized yet in this case, fix the problem by checking if tags is NULL pointer in blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping().
