hfs_fill_super returns success even if no root inode (CVE-2006-6056)
http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-14-11-2006-linux-26x-selinux.html mount that image... fs: filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfs is recommended. mounting read-only. hfs: get root inode failed. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018 printing eip ... EIP is at superblock_doinit+0x21/0x767 ...

This superblock finds its way to superblock_doinit() which does: struct dentry *root = sb->s_root; struct inode *inode = root->d_inode; and boom. Need to make sure the error cases return an error, I think.
