The value of argv0.v_nmembs passed from userspace is 0. This prevents nilfs_iget_for_gc() from being called to initialize the gcinode during the execution of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks(). Consequently, this triggers a null-ptr-deref involving ii->i_assoc_inode within the subsequent call sequence: nilfs_clean_segments()->nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() [1]. A check for argv[0].v_nmembs has been added to nilfs_clean_segments() to prevent this potential null-ptr-deref of ii->i_assoc_inode.
