Subject: [PATCH] ext3: fix ext34_fill_super group description initialization
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:09:54 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070813090954.GA25226@dnb.sw.ru> (raw)

->s_group_desc have to be zero filled because if sb_read() failed
we jump to following error path.
failed_mount2:
	for (i = 0; i < db_count; i++)
		brelse(sbi->s_group_desc[i]);<< Bad things may happen here
