From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> At inode.c:compress_file_range(), under the "free_pages_out" label, we can end up dereferencing the "pages" pointer when it has a NULL value. This case happens when "start" has a value of 0 and we fail to allocate memory for the "pages" pointer. When that happens we jump to the "cont" label and then enter the "if (start == 0)" branch where we immediately call the cow_file_range_inline() function. If that function returns 0 (success creating an inline extent) or an error (like -ENOMEM for example) we jump to the "free_pages_out" label and then access "pages[i]" leading to a NULL pointer dereference, since "nr_pages" has a value greater than zero at that point. Fix this by setting "nr_pages" to 0 when we fail to allocate memory for the "pages" pointer.
