[PATCH 0/2] xfs: handle mount failures more cleanly

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

 



Hi folks,

This is the XFS side of the "fs: don't scan the inode cache before
SB_BORN is set" changes to handle mount failures more cleanly. This
addresses teh use-after-free problems that can occur when
xfs_fs_fill_super() fails, frees the xfs_mount structure but
then leaves the VFS superblock pointing to it.

Th efirst patch is the mount delay sysfs option I've been using to
test this. I'll post the fstest that uses it in a minute.

Cheers,

Dave.
