When commit 13df4d44a3aa ("ext4: fix slab-out-of-bounds in ext4_mb_find_good_group_avg_frag_lists()") was backported to stable, the commit f536808adcc3 ("ext4: refactor out ext4_generic_attr_store()") that uniformly determines if the ptr is null is not merged in, so it needs to be judged whether ptr is null or not in each case of the switch, otherwise null pointer dereferencing may occur.
