[PATCH] afs: Fix dynamic root getattr

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

 



The recent patch to make afs_getattr consult the server didn't account for
the pseudo-inodes employed by the dynamic root-type afs superblock not
having a volume or a server to access, and thus an oops occurs if such a
directory is stat'd.

Fix this by checking to see if the vnode->volume pointer actually points
anywhere before following it in afs_getattr().

This can be tested by stat'ing a directory in /afs.  It may be sufficient
just to do "ls /afs" and the oops looks something like:

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
	...
	RIP: 0010:afs_getattr+0x8b/0x14b
	...
	Call Trace:
	 <TASK>
	 vfs_statx+0x79/0xf5
	 vfs_fstatat+0x49/0x62
