    fs/binfmt_misc.c: node could be NULL when evicting inode · 7e866006
    Eryu Guan authored
    inode->i_private is assigned by a Node pointer only after registering a
    new binary format, so it could be NULL if inode was created by
    bm_fill_super() (or iput() was called by the error path in
    bm_register_write()), and this could result in NULL pointer dereference
    when evicting such an inode.  e.g.  mount binfmt_misc filesystem then
    umount it immediately:
    
      mount -t binfmt_misc binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
      umount /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
    
    will result in

    Fix it by making sure Node (e) is not NULL.
