[PATCH 3.18 003/105] hfs: prevent crash on exit from failed search

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 07:37:43 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Ernesto A. FernÃndez" <ernesto.mnd.fernandez@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dc2572791d3a41bab94400af2b6bca9d71ccd303 ]

hfs_find_exit() expects fd->bnode to be NULL after a search has failed.
hfs_brec_insert() may instead set it to an error-valued pointer. Fix
this to prevent a crash.
