Subject: [PATCH] efivarfs: Defer PM notifier registration until .fill_super
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:31:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250223163144.25540-2-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
syzbot reports an issue that turns out to be caused by the fact that the
efivarfs PM notifier may be invoked before the efivarfs_fs_info::sb
field is populated, resulting in a NULL deference.
So defer the registration until efivarfs_fill_super() is invoked.
