[PATCH 16/16] fscrypt: Add safety checks to non-block-based en/decryption

Eric Biggers <[email protected]> Tue, 23 Jun 2026 22:03:34 -0700
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-fscrypt,net.sourceforge.lists.linux-f2fs-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-block,org.kernel.vger.linux-ext4,org.kernel.vger.linux-fsdevel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
fscrypt_encrypt_pagecache_blocks(), fscrypt_encrypt_block_inplace(),
fscrypt_decrypt_block_inplace() would dereference a NULL
fscrypt_inode_info pointer if they were to be called on a file that
hasn't been opened yet or on a block-based filesystem.  Since they have
the ability to report errors anyway, add WARN_ON_ONCE checks for this.
