From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit c0d0e351285161a515396b7b1ee53ec9ffd97e3c upstream. Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses MSDOS_I(inode)->mmu_private at fat_evict_inode(). However, fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize MSDOS_I(inode) properly. With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry in FAT area.
