[PATCH] mm: fix dereference a null pointer in migrate[_huge]_page_move_mapping()

From: liqiong
Date: Thu Feb 17 2022 - 01:43:31 EST


Upstream has no this bug.

The two functions look up a slot and dereference the pointer,
If the pointer is null, the kernel would crash and dump.

The 'numad' service calls 'migrate_pages' periodically. If some slots
being replaced (Cache Eviction), the radix_tree_lookup_slot() returns
a null pointer, then, kernel crash.

"numad": crash> bt
[exception RIP: migrate_page_move_mapping+337]

Introduct a pointer checking to avoid dereference a null pointer.
