In insert_inline_extent(), there is an if statement on line 181 to check whether compressed_pages is NULL: if (compressed_size && compressed_pages)
When compressed_pages is NULL, compressed_pages is used on line 215: cpage = compressed_pages[i]; Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this possible bug, compressed_pages is checked on line 214. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
