AI-generated root cause summary:
In fs/squashfs/inode.c:squashfs_read_inode(), squashfs_read_metadata() returns
the number of bytes read on success (e.g. sizeof(struct squashfs_dir_inode) ==
32) into err. When checking directory inodes (SQUASHFS_DIR_TYPE and
SQUASHFS_LDIR_TYPE) where inode->i_size < 3, the code jumps to failed_read via
goto without updating err to a negative error code (such as -EINVAL). As a
result, squashfs_read_inode() returns a positive integer (32 or 40), which
squashfs_iget() wraps with ERR_PTR(err) into (struct inode *)0x20. Callers like
d_obtain_alias() check IS_ERR(inode), which evaluates to false for positive
values, and subsequently dereference inode->i_sb at offset 0x28 (address 0x48),
triggering a near-NULL pointer dereference crash.
