Subject: [Devel] [PATCH vz10 v2 1/2] dm-ploop: use the ERRNO fault injection class for ploop_get_delta_file()
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 18:56:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819165629.497296-1-khorenko@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706110002.1024515-21-khorenko@virtuozzo.com>
ploop_get_delta_file() returns a valid struct file * or an ERR_PTR(),
never NULL, and its only caller relies on exactly that.
The function, however, is annotated as
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(ploop_get_delta_file, ERRNO_NULL);
So injecting a failure the default way makes the function return NULL,
the NULL sails past IS_ERR() and vfs_fsync() dereferences it.
This is the annotation misdescribing the function rather than a missing
check in the caller: NULL is not a value ploop_get_delta_file() can ever
return. Use the ERRNO class, which injects error pointers only.
Fixes: 4fc49f0700e2 ("dm-ploop: Allow fault injection for all ploop functions")
Feature: dm-ploop: ploop target driver
