Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bcache: Fix __bch_btree_node_alloc to make the failure behavior consistent<br />
<br />
In some specific situations, the return value of __bch_btree_node_alloc<br />
may be NULL. This may lead to a potential NULL pointer dereference in<br />
caller function like a calling chain :<br />
btree_split->bch_btree_node_alloc->__bch_btree_node_alloc.<br />
<br />
Fix it by initializing the return value in __bch_btree_node_alloc.
