Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:45:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290069925-16034-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.
