+    xfs: XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE() should be false if no rt device present
+    
+    If using a kernel with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and we set the RHINHERIT flag on
+    a directory in a filesystem that does not have a realtime device and
+    create a new file in that directory, it gets marked as a real time file.
+    When data is written and a fsync is issued, the filesystem attempts to
+    flush a non-existent rt device during the fsync process.
+    
+    This results in a crash dereferencing a null buftarg pointer in
+    xfs_blkdev_issue_flush():
+    
+      BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
+      IP: xfs_blkdev_issue_flush+0xd/0x20
+      .....
+      Call Trace:
+        xfs_file_fsync+0x188/0x1c0
+        vfs_fsync_range+0x3b/0xa0
+        do_fsync+0x3d/0x70

+        do_syscall_64+0x4d/0xb0
+        entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25
+    
+    Setting RT inode flags does not require special privileges so any
+    unprivileged user can cause this oops to occur.  To reproduce, confirm
+    kernel is compiled with CONFIG_XFS_RT=y and run:
+    
+      # mkfs.xfs -f /dev/pmem0
+      # mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/test
+      # mkdir /mnt/test/foo
+      # xfs_io -c 'chattr +t' /mnt/test/foo
+      # xfs_io -f -c 'pwrite 0 5m' -c fsync /mnt/test/foo/bar
+    
+    Or just run xfstests with MKFS_OPTIONS="-d rtinherit=1" and wait.
+    
+    Kernels built with CONFIG_XFS_RT=n are not exposed to this bug.
+
