Bug Description

Here is the file http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/buffer.c#L1354
Very strange here

52 */
1353 struct buffer_head *
1354 __find_get_block(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t block, unsigned size)
1355 {
1356 struct buffer_head *bh = lookup_bh_lru(bdev, block, size);
1357
1358 if (bh == NULL) {
1359 /* __find_get_block_slow will mark the page accessed */
1360 bh = __find_get_block_slow(bdev, block);
1361 if (bh)
1362 bh_lru_install(bh);
1363 } else
1364 touch_buffer(bh);
1365
1366 return bh;
1367 }
1368 EXPORT_SYMBOL(__find_get_block);
struct buffer_head *bh = lookup_bh_lru(bdev, block, size);
*bh is equalized without performing running look_bh_lru and after check for NULL pointer verry strange:
