The vfs comes around later on and calls gfs2_kill_sb. At this point the hidden gfs2 superblock pointer (sb->s_fs_info) is NULL and dereferencing it through gfs2_meta_syncfs causes the panic. (the other function call to gfs2_delete_debugfs_file() succeeds because this function already checks for a NULL pointer) Signed-off-by: Abhijith Das Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse diff --git a/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c b/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c index 9e0e9be..314c113 100644 --- a/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c +++ b/fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c @@ -887,8 +887,10 @@ error: static void gfs2_kill_sb(struct super_block *sb) { - gfs2_delete_debugfs_file(sb->s_fs_info); - gfs2_meta_syncfs(sb->s_fs_info); + if (sb->s_fs_info) { + gfs2_delete_debugfs_file(sb->s_fs_info); + gfs2_meta_syncfs(sb->s_fs_info); + } kill_block_super(sb); } -- 1.5.1.2
