[PATCH] hfs_fill_super returns success even if no root inode
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 ... [] selinux_sb_kern_mount+0xc/0x4b [] vfs_kern_mount+0x99/0xf6 [] do_kern_mount+0x2d/0x3e [] do_mount+0x5fa/0x66d [] sys_mount+0x77/0xae [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb DWARF2 unwinder stuck at syscall_call+0x7/0xb hfs_fill_super() returns success even if root_inode = hfs_iget(sb, &fd.search_key->cat, &rec); or sb->s_root = d_alloc_root(root_inode); fails. 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.
