These two functions make use of the WARN_ON_ONCE() macro to help debugging a NULL wpc->wb_ctx. However, this doesn't prevent the possibility of NULL pointer dereferences in the code. This patch adds some extra defensive checks to avoid these NULL pointer accesses. Fixes: ef7e7cbb323f ("fuse: use iomap for writeback") Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi! This v2 results from Joanne's inputs -- I now believe that it is better to keep the WARN_ON_ONCE() macros, but it's still good to try to minimise the undesirable effects of a NULL wpc->wb_ctx.
