Linggang Zeng 553f560e0a bcache: fix NULL pointer in cache_set_flush()
[ Upstream commit 1e46ed947ec658f89f1a910d880cd05e42d3763e ]

1. LINE#1794 - LINE#1887 is some codes about function of
   bch_cache_set_alloc().
2. LINE#2078 - LINE#2142 is some codes about function of
   register_cache_set().
3. register_cache_set() will call bch_cache_set_alloc() in LINE#2098.

 1794 struct cache_set *bch_cache_set_alloc(struct cache_sb *sb)
 1795 {
 ...
 1860         if (!(c->devices = kcalloc(c->nr_uuids, sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL)) ||

 1863                                 sizeof(struct bbio) + sizeof(struct bio_vec) *
 1864                                 bucket_pages(c)) ||

 1875                 goto err;
                      ^^^^^^^^

 ...
 1883         return c;
 1884 err:
 1885         bch_cache_set_unregister(c);
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 1886         return NULL;
 1887 }
 ...
 2078 static const char *register_cache_set(struct cache *ca)
 2079 {
 ...
 2098         c = bch_cache_set_alloc(&ca->sb);
 2099         if (!c)
 2100                 return err;
                      ^^^^^^^^^^
 ...
 2128         ca->set = c;
 2129         ca->set->cache[ca->sb.nr_this_dev] = ca;
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 ...
 2138         return NULL;
 2139 err:
 2140         bch_cache_set_unregister(c);
 2141         return err;
 2142 }

(1) If LINE#1860 - LINE#1874 is true, then do 'goto err'(LINE#1875) and
    call bch_cache_set_unregister()(LINE#1885).
(2) As (1) return NULL(LINE#1886), LINE#2098 - LINE#2100 would return.
(3) As (2) has returned, LINE#2128 - LINE#2129 would do *not* give the
    value to c->cache[], it means that c->cache[] is NULL.

LINE#1624 - LINE#1665 is some codes about function of cache_set_flush().
As (1), in LINE#1885 call
bch_cache_set_unregister()
---> bch_cache_set_stop()
     ---> closure_queue()
          -.-> cache_set_flush() (as below LINE#1624)

 1624 static void cache_set_flush(struct closure *cl)
 1625 {
 ...
 1654         for_each_cache(ca, c, i)
 1655                 if (ca->alloc_thread)
                          ^^
 1656                         kthread_stop(ca->alloc_thread);
 ...
 1665 }

(4) In LINE#1655 ca is NULL(see (3)) in cache_set_flush() then the
    kernel crash occurred as below:

Now, check whether that ca is NULL in LINE#1655 to fix the issue.

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.
