Chaitanya Kulkarni 59c157433f nvme-core: check bdev value for NULL
The nvme-core sets the bdev to NULL when admin comamnd is issued from
IOCTL in the following path e.g. nvme list :-

block_ioctl()
 blkdev_ioctl()
  nvme_ioctl()
   nvme_user_cmd()
    nvme_submit_user_cmd()

The commit 309dca309f ("block: store a block_device pointer in struct bio")
now uses bdev unconditionally in the macro bio_set_dev() and assumes
that bdev value is not NULL which results in the following crash in
since thats where bdev is actually accessed :-

void bio_associate_blkg_from_css(struct bio *bio,
				 struct cgroup_subsys_state *css)
{
	if (bio->bi_blkg)
		blkg_put(bio->bi_blkg);

	if (css && css->parent) {
		bio->bi_blkg = blkg_tryget_closest(bio, css);
	} else {
-------------->	blkg_get(bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->queue->root_blkg);
		bio->bi_blkg = bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->queue->root_blkg;
	}
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(bio_associate_blkg_from_css);

Add a NULL check before we set the bdev for bio.

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.
