Look more carefully. It's path->dentry; aside of the fact that dentry pointer is fetched at offset 8 from one of the arguments (fits path->dentry, too low for mnt->mnt_root), do_add_mount() itself has just done S_ISLNK on the very same thing, so it'd die before getting to graft_tree(). No, it's either path_lookup() somehow returning a negative dentry in do_mount() (which shouldn't be possible, unless it's some crap around return_reval in __link_path_walk()) or it's follow_down() giving us a negative dentry. Which almost certainly would've exploded prior to that... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
