| Subject | [PATCH] ceph: Fix uninitialized dentry pointer in ceph_real_mount() |
| Message-ID | <srPXB-5cV-41@gated-at.bofh.it> |
fs/ceph/super.c: In function ‘ceph_real_mount’:
fs/ceph/super.c:818: warning: ‘root’ may be used uninitialized in this function
If s_root is already valid, dentry pointer root is never initialized,
and returned by ceph_real_mount(). This will cause a crash later when
the caller dereferences the pointer.
Fix this by initializing root early.
Fixes: ce2728aaa82bbeba ("ceph: avoid accessing / when mounting a subpath")

For sb->s_root is not NULL case, we also need to increase sb->s_root's
reference count. I applied this patch and fixed it.
