In xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling(), there is an if statement on
line 274 to check whether ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL:
if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)
When ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL, it is used on line 281:
xfs_trans_brelse(..., ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
struct xfs_buf_log_item *bip = bp->b_log_item;
ASSERT(bp->b_transp == tp);
Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.
To fix these bugs, ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is checked before
being used.
These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
