From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeff Mahoney Subject: [patch 2/4] [PATCH] reiserfs: deal with NULL xattr root w/ xattrs disabled Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 01:02:02 -0400 Message-ID: <20090517050331.993181046@suse.com> References: <20090517050200.786752018@suse.com> Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=patches.fixes/reiserfs-xattr-root-fixup Sender: reiserfs-devel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Andrew Morton , Linus Torvalds Cc: LKML , ReiserFS Development List This patch avoids an Oops in open_xa_root that can occur when deleting a file with xattrs disabled. It assumes that the xattr root will be there, and that is not guaranteed.
