In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:block: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in blk_add_partitionThe blk_add_partition() function initially used a single if-condition(IS_ERR(part)) to check for errors when adding a partition. This wasmodified to handle the specific case of -ENXIO separately, allowing thefunction to proceed without logging the error in this case. However,this change unintentionally left a path where md_autodetect_dev()could be called without confirming that part is a valid pointer.This commit separates the error handling logic by splitting theinitial if-condition, improving code readability and handling specificerror scenarios explicitly. The function now distinguishes the generalerror case from -ENXIO without altering the existing behavior ofmd_autodetect_dev() calls.
