This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled udf: Fix error handling in udf_new_inode() to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: udf-fix-error-handling-in-udf_new_inode.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5fc57f0d8fb7247674c26f3a75c1cb947a1996cc Author: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 14 11:04:29 2021 +0100 udf: Fix error handling in udf_new_inode() [ Upstream commit f05f2429eec60851b98bdde213de31dab697c01b ] When memory allocation of iinfo or block allocation fails, already allocated struct udf_inode_info gets freed with iput() and udf_evict_inode() may look at inode fields which are not properly initialized. Fix it by marking inode bad before dropping reference to it in udf_new_inode().
