fs: kernfs: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in kernfs_path_from_node_locked() In kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), there is an if statement on line 147 to check whether buf is NULL: if (buf) When buf is NULL, it is used on line 151: len += strlcpy(buf + len, parent_str, ...) and line 158: len += strlcpy(buf + len, "/", ...) and line 160: len += strlcpy(buf + len, kn->name, ...) Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these possible bugs, buf is checked before being used. If it is NULL, -EINVAL is returned. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
