From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.2 commit d8f492a059728bbd397defbc9b8d2f4159d869b5 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8IW7G Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- The top level events directory dentry does not have a d_fsdata set to a eventfs_file pointer. This dentry is still passed to eventfs_set_attr(). It can not assume that the d_fsdata is set. Check for that.
