Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: don't try to stop mmp if there is no superblock set up
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:05:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <520E5BF3.5090502@redhat.com> (raw)

Under some failure cases, we can get to fatal_error()
without even having a superblock set up.  In that case,
ext2fs_mmp_stop() will segfault when it tries to dereference
fs->super.

Check for the existence of a superblock before we go
down the ext2fs_mmp_stop() path to avoid this problem.
