3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6becdb601bae2a043d7fb9762c4d48699528ea6e upstream. syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at fuse_ctl_remove_conn() [1]. Since fc->ctl_ndents is incremented by fuse_ctl_add_conn() when new_inode() failed, fuse_ctl_remove_conn() reaches an inode-less dentry and tries to clear d_inode(dentry)->i_private field. Fix by only adding the dentry to the array after being fully set up. When tearing down the control directory, do d_invalidate() on it to get rid of any mounts that might have been added.
