Subject: [PATCH] ntfs: do not dereference a null ctx on error

In ntfs_mft_data_extend_allocation_nolock(), if an error condition occurs
prior to 'ctx' being set to a non-NULL value, avoid dereferencing the NULL
'ctx' pointer in error handling.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

Duplicate of 10-years-old outstanding patch at [1].

I'm not speaking of the patch itself but rather on unfortunate state
of ntfs subsystem. It seems like the maintainer is MIA (has not
responding to patch submissions for a long time). Some trivial
patches, however, are merged through mm tree.

Konstantin (from newer ntfs3 subsystem), Andrew, would you like to take a
look on this orphaned subsystem (and help reviewing)? I'd like to send
MAINTAINERS update if it turns out to be the case.

Thanks.

Well, the patches are actually quite different. Is Danila's longer one
better?

Sure, I can join [email protected] and hendle things
which come along.

Or Christian may want to do that?

Thanks for asking. I would be able to pick up those patches into
fs.misc. I got an off-list ping about someone also wanting to help
with review apparently.

I think that this check is not needed.

Danila's patch is better than old one. old patch doesn't free
allocated cluster in error handling. And Christian will apply this to
his queue if you drop this patch.
