[PATCH] efivarfs: Defer PM notifier registration until .fill_super

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
