Andrey Ryabinin 8139ad043d mm/page_alloc.c: avoid potential NULL pointer dereference
ac.preferred_zoneref->zone passed to alloc_flags_nofragment() can be NULL.
'zone' pointer unconditionally derefernced in alloc_flags_nofragment().
Bail out on NULL zone to avoid potential crash.  Currently we don't see
any crashes only because alloc_flags_nofragment() has another bug which
allows compiler to optimize away all accesses to 'zone'.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
