4.2.8-ckt12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <mikulas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 01d6e08711bf90bc4d7ead14a93a0cbd73b1896a upstream. Commit c8f33d0bec99 ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition. However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL. In this case, kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no out of memory condition exists. The mount syscall then fails with ENOMEM. This patch fixes the bug. We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL. The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).
