------------------------------------------------------ From: Mark Tinguely mark.tinguely@oracle.com Subject: ocfs2: fix panic in failed foilio allocation Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2025 11:31:24 -0500
In the page to order 0 folio conversion series, commits 7e119cff9d0a ("ocfs2: convert w_pages to w_folios") and 9a5e08652dc4 ("ocfs2: use an array of folios instead of an array of pages") save -ENOMEM in the folio array upon allocation failure and call the folio array free code.
The folio array free code expects either valid folio pointers or NULL. Finding the -ENOMEM will result in a panic. Fix by NULLing the error folio entry.
