ext4_fill_super doublechecks the number of groups before mounting; if that check fails, the resulting error message prints the group count from the ext4_sb_info sbi, which hasn't been set yet. Move the assignment to sbi->s_groups_count above its use in the error message. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 4ec1102813798 ("ext4: Add sanity checks for the superblock before mounting the filesystem") --- v2: Rather than using the computed group count value in blocks_count, move the assignment to sbi->s_groups_count up and keep using that. That makes the code, and the patch, simpler to read and understand. fs/ext4/super.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index 0c7c4adb664e..6692bc48520a 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -4285,6 +4285,7 @@ static int ext4_fill_super(struct super_block *sb, void *data, int silent) le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) + EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1); do_div(blocks_count, EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)); + sbi->s_groups_count = blocks_count; if (blocks_count > ((uint64_t)1<<32) - EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb)) { ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, "groups count too large: %u " "(block count %llu, first data block %u, " @@ -4294,7 +4295,6 @@ static int ext4_fill_super(struct super_block *sb, void *data, int silent) EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)); goto failed_mount; } - sbi->s_groups_count = blocks_count; sbi->s_blockfile_groups = min_t(ext4_group_t, sbi->s_groups_count, (EXT4_MAX_BLOCK_FILE_PHYS / EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb))); if (((u64)sbi->s_groups_count * sbi->s_inodes_per_group) != -- 2.26.0
