From 32a9bb57d7c1fd04ae0f72b8f671501f000a0e9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manish Katiyar Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2011 20:42:06 -0500 Subject: ext4: fix missing iput of root inode for some mount error paths This assures that the root inode is not leaked, and that sb->s_root is NULL, which will prevent generic_shutdown_super() from doing extra work, including call sync_filesystem, which ultimately results in ext4_sync_fs() getting called with an uninitialized struct super, which is the cause of the crash noted in Kernel Bugzilla #26752. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26752 Signed-off-by: Manish Katiyar Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" --- fs/ext4/super.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/ext4') diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index 33c398785e53..bd6e86aa82aa 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -3521,17 +3521,16 @@ no_journal: if (IS_ERR(root)) { ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR, "get root inode failed"); ret = PTR_ERR(root); + root = NULL; goto failed_mount4; } if (!S_ISDIR(root->i_mode) || !root->i_blocks || !root->i_size) { - iput(root); ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR, "corrupt root inode, run e2fsck"); goto failed_mount4; } sb->s_root = d_alloc_root(root); if (!sb->s_root) { ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR, "get root dentry failed"); - iput(root); ret = -ENOMEM; goto failed_mount4; } @@ -3647,6 +3646,8 @@ cantfind_ext4: goto failed_mount; failed_mount4: + iput(root); + sb->s_root = NULL; ext4_msg(sb, KERN_ERR, "mount failed"); destroy_workqueue(EXT4_SB(sb)->dio_unwritten_wq); failed_mount_wq: -- cgit v1.2.2
