In quite a few places we call xfs_da_read_buf with a mappedbno that we
don't control, then assume that the function passes back either an error
code or a buffer pointer. Unfortunately, if mappedbno == -2 and bno
maps to a hole, we get a return code of zero and a NULL buffer, which
means that we crash if we actually try to use that buffer pointer. This
happens immediately when we set the buffer type for transaction context.
Therefore, check that we have no error code and a non-NULL bp before
trying to use bp. This patch is a follow-up to an incomplete fix in
96a3aefb8f ("xfs: don't crash if reading a directory results in an
unexpected hole").

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
