From 8ed0579c12b2fe56a1fac2f712f58fc26c1dc49b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2019 16:34:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kvm: properly check debugfs dentry before using it MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of just NULL. So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it. This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values, not NULL"). syzbot has found a way to trigger multiple debugfs files attempting to be created, which fails, and then the error code gets passed to dentry_path_raw() which obviously does not like it.
